No bug, nothing wrong. You've hyphenated the lyrics "Te" and "st"; LP will print enough hyphens to fill the space between the two syllables. If "Te" was set to a melisma extending over several lines, LP would print lines of lyrics consisting entirely of hyphens until it reached the syllable "st". Cheers, David.
