Hi John and Christopher, Thanks for the link to the lyric hyphenator page. It's a marvellous resource and worth sharing more widely.
Another great hyphenator is https://www.ushuaia.pl/hyphen/?ln=en. This one works best with single words or shorter texts but has the advantage of allowing hyphenation in many different languages. However, marvellous as they are, they are a perfect example of my problem: I can't use them because I can't copy/paste into the lyrics tool edit window!!

I found this page not too long ago, and use it all the time. Very useful.
