I'm not sure what you mean with hyphenation. Hyphenation is not an issue in
TeX or any WYSISYG(M) editor, and I never had problems using it, so I can't
understan " But that's just not the case." could you give example? OTOH,
line/page breaking in music is a real issue, and in my case it's one of the
biggest sources of problems with LilyPond, although we must say breaking
algorhythm is far better than Finale's (the problem being that manual
tweaking is *much* harder).
