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. May one should then use a m dash — to accentuate the difference to a lyrics hyphen.
