Hi Kieren, without even looking at your example, to be honest, but a shot in the dark: Fo you still remember David's and Mike's "magnetic snapping lyrics"? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-03/msg00489.html This snippet eventually went into OpenLilyLib, and was apparently rediscovered as non-working about a year ago by Urs, see http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Is-the-lyric-syllable-magnetic-snap-snippet-obsolete-td204403.html I've just been doing some choral engraving where lyric hyphens are eliminated where there is no space. And I haven't used any special tools. It may only work where \textWidthOn has added space to the notes. Consider Christmastime in the following snippet.
