Right after I sent the question, a workaround occurred to me - using
hspace to "erase" the unwanted space, like this:
\markup { \larger
\column {
\line { For my brethren and com \hspace #-0.7 \underline pan
\hspace #-0.7 ions’ sake }
\line { \hspace #9 I will say, \underline peace be within you! }
}
}
But if anyone has a less "hacky" way to do this, I'd still love to hear it.

I'm currently working on resetting some church music where only the
first and last three or four verses are actually scores; everything in
the middle is just text, with underlining used to show where the
"movement" comes in (every verse follows an identical pattern except
for the ending verses).
Unfortunately, some of these have only part of the word underlined, as
the "movement" comes on a specific syllable. For example, in this
half-verse:
"For my brethren and companions' sake"
the vocal movement comes on the "pan" in "companions'", so I need to
only underline that syllable. But I have not been able to do it
without introducing spaces on either side of the syllable. Is there a
way to do this while keeping the word together?
