    There’s always the method used for held lyrics under the staves on sheet music; namely: expand the repeats with hyphens (or en or em dashes if you’re feeling fancy / like an AI).

    You can still incorporate this odd / even rule too: No -> No - o - o; Moon -> Moo - oo - oon

    There might need to be extra hyphens before and after surrounding consonants according to taste. I haven’t pinned down my own preference yet.

    At a push, there need be no repeats of any letters and the whole extension is done with hyphens or dashes and long spaces: e.g. Spoon -> Sp­ — — o — — o — — n.

    Subtitler @[email protected] elsewhere in the comments might like to experiment with this method too.

      I’ll tell ya one thing, I absolutely hate that rendering of the word spoon. That, I will certainly not be experimenting with.
