One common way to typeset this is to use an extender line,
as you have done after cau-sa. It shouldn't be hard to
implement support for this alternative layout, for example
adding a property to LyricHyphen or LyricExtender. We already
have support for dashed lines in several other contexts.

Hi,
I'm typesetting a piece where the first syllable "dam" of one word "dam - ni"
is ornamented for 3 bars. I am no expert in vocal music notation, but all my
sources notate this by using a sequence of short hyphens ("dam - - - - - ni"
like LyrB below) instead of one very long hyphen ("dam ---- ni" like
LyrA below). However, my hack in LyrB is an ugly hack that shouldn't be done.
Is there an easy way of achieving something similar in Lilypond? If not,
should there be one? (Since this seems to be some kind of standard, perhaps a
special notation of it would be motivated? E.g., --- or -- --?)
Thanks,
Erik
