How to spell "W" in lyrics

Question

I would like to use the letter W in a set of lyrics in a choral work. I want the performers to pronounce all three syllables of the letter, as if they were spelling.

Wikipedia suggests spelling it "double-u" (source).

For the lyrics, would the syllabification dou-ble-u be wise, or would dou-ble-you be less likely to cause confusion?

Answer 1

I've found three general takes.

1. In sheet music, the most common is just to write "W___", where the bar extends under the relevant notes/rhythm.

2. In lyrics-only websites, it is also most common to just use the letter "W".

3. Less frequently used is "double-u", but there are examples.

4. I found no examples of "double-you", and would personally find that confusing at first glance.
