Dear all, and especially وفا,

I'm using bidipoem's traditionalpoem environment to typeset a Syriac
madrasha. The metre of many madrashe mixes couplets, which are usually
set on a single line with a gap between the two halves, and single
lines. Traditional poem is great at setting the couplets, but how do I
mark up the single lines so that their ends match the two ends of the
couplets? Here's one stanza from the madrashe:

	\begin{traditionalpoem}
		ܦܬܚ ܠܢ ܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ&ܐܦ ܢܗܠ ܒܗ\\
		ܢܥܢܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ&ܕܐܝܟܘ ܚܝܠܟ\\
		ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ\\
		ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܘ ܬܠܝܬܝܐ&ܕܠܪܒܝܥܝܐ ܠܠܥܙܪ\\
		ܐܚܝܐ ܐܚܐ ܠܩܢܘܡܟ&ܦܬܚ ܡܘܬܐ ܬܪ̈ܥܝܗ̇ ܕܫܝܘܠ\\
		ܘܐܙܠܓ ܡܢܗ̇&ܙܝܘܐ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܡܪܢ\\
		ܘܐܝܟ ܣܕܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܠܥܘ ܗܘܘ\\
		ܡܫܘ ܘܒܥܘ ܬܪܥܗ̇ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܕܐܒܕ ܠܗ̇
	\end{traditionalpoem}

Thanks,

Gareth.
