Sorry, Marek -- it's me again. I'm really a novice, and it's time for confession: I don't know how to use the code "\override LyricHyphen #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print" to actually produce a glyph in the compiled score. My reading and experimentation didn't get me anywhere on the point. I want to produce a hyphen manually which is in fact identical in appearance to a lyrics hyphen. It seems that I'm not quite ready for compromise, after all. :) If anyone can enlighten me, I'd be very grateful.
