One common way to typeset this is to use an extender line, as you have done after cau-sa. It shouldn't be hard to implement support for this alternative layout, for example adding a property to LyricHyphen or LyricExtender. We already have support for dashed lines in several other contexts.

Hi,
I'm typesetting a piece where the first syllable "dam" of one word "dam - ni" is ornamented for 3 bars. I am no expert in vocal music notation, but all my sources notate this by using a sequence of short hyphens ("dam - - - - - ni" like LyrB below) instead of one very long hyphen ("dam ---- ni" like LyrA below). However, my hack in LyrB is an ugly hack that shouldn't be done.
Is there an easy way of achieving something similar in Lilypond? If not, should there be one? (Since this seems to be some kind of standard, perhaps a special notation of it would be motivated? E.g., --- or -- --?)
Thanks, Erik
