What is the best way to make more room horizontally for lyrics? I have two
syllable words that look like they are one syllable words (ie no hyphen

special property I don't understand?

This is one of my utility functions:

%%%%
forceHyphen = \lyricmode {
  \once \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #2
}
%%%%

You then use it like this:

%%%%
\lyricmode { And the \forceHyphen white -- robed mar -- tyrs fol -- low, }
%%%%
