What is the best way to make more room horizontally for lyrics? I have

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,
}
