Please excuse a question that is probably simple but I cannot find an
answer to. What is the correct way to include a real hyphen in lyrics? That
is to say, a hyphenated word in the lyrics that should be typeset with a
hyphen even when the parts are close enough to not need spacing between
syllables. The word I am looking at is 'earth-bound'. If I use;
\lyricmode { earth -- bound }
then the hyphen could disappear. At the moment I have
\lyricmode { "earth -" bound }
and it works because, as I have found by experimenting, the two syllables
are approximately the same length. If they were more imbalanced (eg
'T-shirt') then the spacing is wrong.
Regards,
Joe
