"Mis-sus" is the accepted spelling/syllabification in music and in text.
There's also at least one movie title that uses it. It's not offensive (the
dictionary's reference to "dialect" is not prohibitive or damning). If
everyone refuses to accept a century of precedent, I have nothing further.

In “Me and Mrs. Jones” the publisher spells it “mis-sus”, which I am not sure
about. I would have spelled it as “miss-es”, since it is pronounced the same as
“hits and misses” with the last “s” voiced (“z”) and nobody has to question
whether it’s actually unvoiced the way they would if you
[ Robert Patterson: ]
FWIW (joking aside) my copy of Merriam Webster correctly identifies
"missus" as dialect in one of the definitions, and I would rather
avoid
that implication.
In that case, how would "Mr - s." go? But that might cause the
singer to start pronouncing "Mister" -
Perhaps including the precise syllabification in small type in addition to the
"official" working in the regular type.

Or, along the lines of my earlier idea: "Mrs." centered under the notes and
"missus" or the dictionary spelling of the pronunciation in parentheses,
right below. Wouldn't that avoid any sort of implication?

When I've had to do this for opera (which, if you're adhering to a libretto,
sometimes you must follow exactly)...I've started setting this typed out as one
word, under 2 notes, and letting the singer do the placing. It seems to be
clearer for them.

How about "Ms-es?" "Ms" is an common sub for Mrs. and most know to pronounce

Technically, "Mrs." is the abbreviation of "Mistress", but no one says that
any more. Hence, there is no generally accepted way to spell it out how we
pronounce it.

I'd probably spell out phonetically and maybe put Mrs. in parentheses
somewhere to clarify.
