Hi Robert,
As I sad, the problem is, that the usual dash (-) symbol is not really
looking like the hyphen. My question was, how to archieve it to display
a hyphen which looks very similar to the one generated by lilypond.
(Which seems to be rather a line than a character).

\addlyrics { \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #0.6 \markup {
"Pro" \raise #0.47 \override #'(thickness . 1.3) \draw-line #'(0.55 . 0) phe }
-- tan }
Arrgh! Don't you see that the lines are rounded with different corner
sizes? Looks terrible at 6400% zoom, as bad as on my homemade A-1
borderless color-proofed metal-foil wallpaper prints! ;-)
Seriously: I still think it's not The Right Thing (tm) that LyricHyphens
don't use the dash glyph of the LyricText font, for the sake of easy
reproduction of nice results. (Read: You can't just use "Pro - phe".
And there's a reason why fonts have a dash glyph and it's not simulated
by the nice word processor of your choice.)
But this is absolutely close enough. Clever idea to look up the Hyphen
definition...
Cheers,
Alexander
