I still say
that, given the fact that it's well-established that Mac lacks a second
hyphen character, and MM sells a Mac version of Finale, it's MM's
responsibility to deal with that and find some other way to make a
non-breaking hyphen is available for lyrics in Finale. You can't just say,
"well, that's because Macs are stupid" and leave the problem unsolved.

It's not completely unheard of to want a hyphen in the middle of a syllable
in standard music with normal fonts.  I remember that happening for me in a
French text once.

The majority of Mac fonts have no true en-dash. Rather, the en-dash character (option-hyphen) is identical in appearance to the hyphen and is in fact a hard hyphen. If you need hard hyphens in a piece, just choose a font with no true en-dash. They are numerous!
