I have also searched and tried different solutions. The only thing I could come up with was the following ugly workaround:
\version "2.8.0" << \relative c'{c ( e d f g2 ) g } \addlyrics { \markup { Long \hspace #1.0 } __ word } >> For example, I tried to add a space at the end of the word using "Long " or Long_ but it seems that LilyPond is "clever" enough to remove any space at the beginning or end of a syllable. As far as I can see from the implementation, this spacing is really hard-coded into the program. Maybe http://lilypond.org/web/sponsor/ is the best solution? /Mats David Griffel wrote:
Is it possible to tweak lyric-extender to increase horizontal space between extender and previous syllable? The default spacing is very tight. Have looked through manual, can't find an answer. David
