Whiteout for LyricHyphen grobs is seldom used - obviously the hyphen must not
whiteout parts of the lyric syllables. But it is a vital feature if mensuration
lines are used (old music, Distler, ...)
A proper outline whiteout would be ideal, but it is not implemented ... the
current code fails because you need a relatively large whiteout area for a
small object. A brute force fix is to increase the number of iterations, but
the result would be a pdf with a high percentage of whiteout code.
And there is the case where a long melisma produces a single hyphen event that
generates a lot of hyphens that cross a number of mensuration lines.
Rectangular or roundedbox whiteout will produce gaps in all mensuration lines
crossed, even if there is no collision. That's not acceptable.
Attached is a patch that solves the problem. It passes a full make, and make
check does not identify any problem.

WhiteoutImproved.jpg: Brute-force-fix - more than 90% whiteout code in the pdf
WhiteoutEvenBetter-X.jpg: Proposed behaviour as implemented in the attached
patch
