You can force a LyricHyphen to appear:
%%%%
forceHyphen = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #1.5
}
music = \fixed c' {
\key f \major \time 3/4
a2 4 | a4( g) a | c'4( bes) a | a4 g r
}
{ \music } \addlyrics {
And the white -- robed mar -- tyrs fol -- low,
}
{ \music } \addlyrics {
And the \forceHyphen white -- robed mar -- tyrs fol -- low,
}
%%%%
Note that since the -- must appear directly after the text, you will
need to apply this override before the text.
Thanks! I modified this a bit:
forceHyphen = {
\once\override LyricHyphen.length = 1
\once\override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = 1
\override LyricHyphen.after-line-breaking = ##t
}
which for my use case seemed to look more natural and also caters for
the case of a line break at the hyphen.
