New issue 1255 by RalphBugList: Add prefix to lyrics - extract hyphen  
dimensions or hyphen glyph from the font
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1255

LyricHyphen does not use the glyph of the LyricText font, but instead a  
custom line markup. Alexander Kobel: "Once I also tried to exchange the  
LyricHyphen stencil to mimic LyricText, but to no avail - AFAICS, the  
alignment of the hyphens is more or less hard-coded in the C++ part."

 "TODO: should extract hyphen dimensions or hyphen glyph from the font."
