The hyphenation tool should allow any personal conception. Hyphenation
may have to be adapted to the native language of the singers more than
to the language of the lyrics. This is specially true for custom scores
prepared for a given choir, and not scheduled for commercial purposes.

Regardless of what happens underneath (dictionary lookup or
algorithm), the final result for English hyphenation should follow
dictionary hyphenation not pronunciation. (This is true in every
publication style guide I've come across).
To use your example, 'e-di-to-"rin"-chief' would be the incorrect
hyphenation. (It is less readable to English readers if you use
non-standard hyphenation.) If MuseScore marked it as incorrect, that
would be okay. (Even though it is a hyphenation mistake rather than a
spelling mistake).
Note: Hyphenation in other languages (like French and Spanish) usually
follows pronunciation. Hyphenation for other languages can often be
described with less than 30 rules. It is just English that doesn't
have a clear set of rules. As a result, most English speakers make
frequent hyphenation mistakes (unless they are editors by training).
If it is helpful I can post hyphenation rules for several other
languages. It might take me a week or two.

Hello lasconic, hello all,
I'm proposing to work on text utilities for GSoC. I have a draft
of the
idea, but I have a few things that I'm not able to wrap my head
around.
1) *Spell checking hyphenated words:* On the GSoC 2014 page
(https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/google-summer-code/ideas-2014#Proofing-tools-for-lyrics%3A-spellcheck-and-hyphenation)
I came across:
"Spell checking lyrics also takes some work beyond simply hooking up a
spellchecker. For example "ed-i-tor-in-chief" should pass
spellcheck as
"editor-in-chief". You have to preserve some hyphens and drop
others before
the spellchecker recognizes the word"
*QUESTION* is: wouldn't hyphens in the original word of a
hyphenated word
confuse the hyphens that are induced due to syllabification? And
hence, my
suggestion is we should treat all originally hyphenated words as
non-hyphenated in musescore.
*EXAMPLE:* In the original word 'editor-in-chief', there's a
hyphen "r-in"
but the user doesn't split the syllable that way in the lyrics
(say his
lyrics are: e-di-to-"rin"-chief.
*
PROBLEM*: The spell checker would say the hyphen between "r-in"
should be
present, but the user would say he wanted "rin" to be sung at as
single
note, and making it "r-in" would confuse him into thinking that
they had to
be sung at separate notes.
So can the spell checker forgive missing hyphens in the original word?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) *Hyphenation*:
I was thinking of a hyphenation model where the user starts typing
lyrics
from under a particular note (This can be the start note or any
other note)
and hyphenation happens on the fly, where next syllables keep
spilling over
to next notes.
OR
Another model would be where where the user enters the entire
lyrics at
once, and the hyphenation happens after the entire lyrics have
been entered,
and each syllable is aligned with one note, starting from the
first note.
