Alexander, [...] I failed with \override LyricHyphen.text = #"-" \override LyricHyphen.stencil = #lyric-text::print trying to replace the LyricHyphen "elementary stencil" by a properly printed hyphen from the LyricText font. [...] I've looked into this before, but it requires a complete re-write of the stencil function because the "elementary stencil" is actually a single dashed line spanner rather than a bunch of line segments. I haven't been able to come up with a working solution, though.
Duh, that's what I was afraid to hear. Can't say I'm surprised...I know that the LyricHyphen features much more than a simple glyph internally, including shortening the hyphens (which I personally dislike, and rather leave it out, but that's a different story). Hence I assumed that it's not as simple as just resetting the stencil, but I rather hoped that there is a single place to inject it in the spanner. Well, probably no luck. Then I'll have to resort to less extraordinary fonts and adjusting the height and extent of the LyricHyphen...
Thanks, Alexander
