Hello Werner, As it turns out, it’s Score.LyricHyphen.stencil I have to play with, since in my actual score, the end of the word 'Kum — ba — ya' occurs at the beginning of the coda :
But : \override Score.LyricHyphen.stencil = ##f kum — ba -- \revert Score.LyricHyphen.stencil ya prevents the hyphen I need after ‘ba’ at the end of measure 13 from being visible : it’s either all hyphens of none of them. So I use : Lo -- ord Kum -- \once \override LyricText.X-offset = #-0.5 "ba -" instead, at the cost of this minus sign being slightly too thick. Would be nice to be able to be able to hide all the hyphens except the first one in such a situation. A nice day! JM
