The best way to file a feature request is to send the mail to [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. This version should work better:
\score{
...
\paper{
...
\translator{
\LyricsVoiceContext
\remove "Hara_kiri_engraver"
\consists "Axis_group_engraver"
}
}

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 no lyrics at all, which is a bit confusing since it's the middle of a word.
How does one file a feature request for something like this? As you proposed, a property on LyricHyphen would be perfect--set it once and have it behave that way through the whole score.
When I tried using a lyric extender instead of a hyphen, it still drops out for the line when there are no other new lyrics on that line, then reappears on the next line to lead up to the next new word. For example:
\score { << \new Staff \notes \relative c' { c4 c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c | c c c c } \new Lyrics \lyrics { Fu4*79 __ bar!4 } \new Lyrics \lyrics { Fu4*79 -- bar!4 }
\paper {} }
I'm guessing that even if we had a LyricHyphen property that used repeated dashes it would still skip the middle line, seeing as both the hyphen and the lyric extender skip it now. Is there any way to prevent this? Is this a bug or is it intentional?
Thanks,
Russ
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.

Hi,
I'm typesetting a piece where the first syllable "dam" of one word "dam - ni" is ornamented for 3 bars. I am no expert in vocal music notation, but all my sources notate this by using a sequence of short hyphens ("dam - - - - - ni" like LyrB below) instead of one very long hyphen ("dam ---- ni" like LyrA below). However, my hack in LyrB is an ugly hack that shouldn't be done.
Is there an easy way of achieving something similar in Lilypond? If not, should there be one? (Since this seems to be some kind of standard, perhaps a special notation of it would be motivated? E.g., --- or -- --?)
Thanks, Erik
