Great!
For the sake of completeness, I figure I should probably try to answer your
original question:
> Is there a way that I can modify the code of option (2) to get the exact same

Here’s something that maybe suffices?
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.27.0"
notes = \fixed c' { \*4 g }
\markup { \circle 1 Kerning when
each \typewriter LyricText object
is an entire word:
}
{
\notes
\addlyrics {
\set lyricMelismaAlignment = #-0.6
testing _
\set lyricMelismaAlignment = #-0.8
hyphens _
}
}
\markup { \circle 2 Kerning when
\typewriter -- is used
between syllables in lyrics:
}
kernLyr = \tweak LyricText.extra-offset #'(0.075 . 0) \tweak
LyricHyphen.X-extent #empty-interval \etc
\score {
\notes
\addlyrics {
\kernLyr test -- ing
\kernLyr hy -- phens
}
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
