Hi folks, (other than Mats) I discovered the following bit of code in the comments for the user manual. I tried updating it automatically, but it didn't work. If you deal with lyrics, and think this example is worth keeping, then could you update it to work with recent LilyPond? Ideally with 2.5, but 2.4 would be ok as well.
Cheers, - Graham, LilyPond Documentation Editor ---- FIXME: check that this compiles and displays correctly. I don't want to commit this part blindly. In tighly engraved music, hyphens can be removed. In some languages (e.g. German and Hungarian), hyphens should not disappear, since spelling depends on hyphenation. For that purpose, hyphens can be forced to remain by overriding @code{minimum-length} of the @code{LyricHyphen} grob.
