You can't be totally rigid, though. A prominent exception is words
in "-ire" (as fire, tire, mire) that are very frequently pronounced
in two syllables (esp. in poetry) but which you will never see
hypenated in any dictionary.
You don't say what your hyphenation solution is for "fire", though. I
have simply put it in as a melisma, but admittedly it won't be sung
the same as if was split to two syllables.
"Fi-re"? Any other solution?
