[EMAIL PROTECTED] I send a copy of this reply to that list,
so you don't really have to do anything extra.
However, I realize that the solution I sent in a previous email
to avoid the empty lyrics lines were removed didn't work correctly
While searching the archive I came across this message from a month
ago. I'm having the same issue but it is even worse when the hyphen
extends (or should extend) over an entire line. Currently, lilypond
doesn't print anything for that line and compresses the vertical
spacing as though there were
IMHO LilyPond's lyrics engraving is not very good at all. This kind of lyric
hyphen is by design - but I don't understand why.. I think currently using
"no- stri dam- ni cau- sa" gives better results (and that kind of
hyphenation is more common).

One common way to typeset this is to use an extender line,
as you have done after cau-sa. It shouldn't be hard to
implement support for this alternative layout, for example
adding a property to LyricHyphen or LyricExtender. We already
have support for dashed lines in several other contexts.
