    Hello Kira,
    
    The problem with this is that how well it works depends on the horizontal 
    spacing of the system. I’ve attached a short example of how you can tell 
    Lilypond to actually align the dash under the note. It involves setting 
    melismaBusyProperties to make Ties not be handles as melisma in the one 
case, 
    and manually skipping the tied note in the other stanzas using _

I actually don't think that the intent is to place the dash under the tied 
note.  I think the dash is punctuation in the lyrics, not a lyric itself.

That's why I think the "lyric --" solution is the right solution.

Thanks,

Carl
