Text does not have variable length hyphens. Dashes of various length
carry different meanings in text: hyphen, range dashes, ellipsis.

Obviously (to me), different character slots are required for the
extensible hyphens in lyrics, and a text hyphen. A long lyric hyphen,
for example, can't have the thickness of a normal text hyphen, or you
get a heavy black bar across the page. You can't dash with a text
hyphen perfectly either, because the ends of the hyphen are supposed to
convey, well, ends of a hyphen and not an interruption.
