Actually, option-hyphen is an en-dash, while shift-option-hyphen is an 
em-dash.  But I can't remember at the moment how Finale treats 
option-hyphen in the edit lyrics dialog...

 [...]Furthermore, there should be a mode available where you can

A hard hyphen certainly is available and possible. In the Mac we use
Option-hyphen to create a hard, non-breaking, ("graphic," you might 
say)
hyphen.


The Opt-hyphen on the Mac is actually an m-dash, which is longer than 
a hyphen. This kind of thing might not be important to us guys writing 
for community choirs, but for publication it is important.
