Hi Jan-Peter!
Thanks for the tip.
Using an UTF dash indeed makes it show up in the lyrics - and so far that's
good.
But then the trouble is that I don't want it to "consume" a note. It seems
to be counted as a syllable.
I've been looking at the LyricHyphen and tried to experiment with overriding
various values - but as it appears, the en-dash is not at all affected by
this (but all the inter-word-hypens are).
I found something that looks a bit promising,
skipFour = \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 8 }
But I'm a) not entirely clear about the numbers, and b) it only skips over
the notes - the en-dash is still being counted as a syllable.
I need some more help or pointers here, I'm getting in over my head in the
nitty gritty.
/Peter
