type in the lyric for the first ending normally.

when you get to the note that will contain the second ending's syllable type
alt-0173 and the next syllable.


Cecil was giving you the PC version of the solution you had found yourself. As far as I can tell, alt-073 on a PC is like the option-dash on the Mac (I think they are called n-dashes, so named because they are as wide as the letter n. Opt-shift-dash I think is an m-dash). Not exactly the same character as the hyphen, but close enough for many purposes. Engravers don't like it, and will put in the missing hyphen as a staff expression instead.
