Hi Peter,
Are you simply trying to replace Lilypond's inter-syllable hyphen with an
emdash? If so, just override it directly:
\version "2.15.14"
\paper { ragged-right = ##f }
MD = {
\once \override LyricHyphen #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override LyricHyphen #'text = "—"
\once \override LyricHyphen #'X-offset = #4.5
}
theNotes = \relative c' { c4 c c c c c c c }
theWords = \lyricmode { Nor -- mal \MD re -- placed nor -- mal nor -- mal }
\score {
<<
\new Staff \theNotes
\addlyrics \theWords
>>
}
Anyway, this should give you some ideas and point you in the right direction.
(n.b., There's probably a more elegant way than the manual X-offset, but I
don't have time to work it out right now.)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
