I've changed some names, so update from CVS.  This doesn't get any
beauty points, so when I have enough time (sigh), I might want to
change how this done (not the coming year though :).


\header {

texidoc = "Grob extents may be hard coded using grob
    properties.  This requires Grob::preset_extent () function.
" 
}

\score {
    \context Lyrics \lyrics {
        \property Lyrics . LyricHyphen \set #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . -5.0) 
        foo --
        \property Lyrics . LyricText \set #'X-extent-callback = 
#Grob::preset_extent
        \property Lyrics . LyricText \set #'extent-X = #'(-10.0 . 10.0)
 bar baz
        }
    \paper { linewidth = -1.0 }
}
