Oh my this is getting way more involved than I expected! I’m re-thinking
this in terms of the interruption dash Valentin mentioned. The formatting
in old hymnals is sometimes really hard to parse out, and there are
frequently mistakes, but I think that an interruption dash makes the most
sense in
Hello Carl,
you mean this could be meant as an interruption dash: The fight is on – the
trumpet sound is ringing out...
In this case I would expect the dash to be evenly spaced between on and the.
This could be achieved by using hyphen and overriding the stencil for
LyricsHyphen to a dash.

No, it didn’t work exactly, but it worked well enough that I am happy with
it!

Could you use a LyricHyphen and just lengthen it to look like an em
dash?
lyricEmDash = {
Hello Kira,
if you use "on –" then you are treating this as one syllable. So this way
Lilypond won't align the – under the tied note, if that is still intended.

Actually, I had quite a few spelling errors, I am sorry! Verse two is
supposed to be arouse, so that is also a dash. Carl was right, the correct
term was a dash not a hyphen, and putting it in quotes with on: “on – ”
worked perfectly, and it looks great! Sorry for the mistakes, and thank you

You don't want a hyphen
Hi Carl,
What do you mean by a code sample? I am sorry to be so ignorant - I was
told I would be using MuseScore, then day one of this gig told "here, learn
Lilypond instead" so I had to kind of crash-course this! those are very
different little beasts!
Thank you!
Best,
Kira

Try an underscore between the word "on" and the hypen:
The fight is on_- the trump -- pet sound

Absolutely no purpose, other than that it is in the original scan and my
instructions were to follow the original as closely as possible! It is
from a 1989 Baptist hymnal that has some interesting formatting issues, so
yes, it is absolutely not practical. Thank you though!!

This could be done by \once\set melismaBusyProperties = #' () before the tied
note (after ~) and then have the other stanzas skip that one note.
May I just ask: What would be the purpose of this hyphen there?
Hello Kira,
You can use any sort of markup for lyrics. So you can simply type "-" to
create a hypen.
Cheers,
Valentin

Hello all,
If there is a literal hyphen in the text, not a hyphen that breaks
up/extends a single word, how do I indicate that to Frescobaldi? Thank you!
(I couldnt find it on the manual!)
the text is:
The fight is on - the trumpet call is ringing out... (old Baptist hymn.)
Thank you!
Best,
Kira
