New issue 2638 by [email protected]: Lyric Hyphens aren't placed equally far from neighbor syllables
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2638

This example is a bit artificial, but illustrates the problem well:

\version "2.15.39"
{ f'16 f' f' f' }
\addlyrics { W -- o -- pp -- p }

first hyphen is much closer to 'o' than to 'W'. 2nd and 3rd hyphens are closer to the syllable on the left.

This happens because syllables' are treated as if they had straight vertical edges (no "kerning" is applied). Perhaps using skylines would solve this problem - see issue 2148.
