*The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition (which is the dominant 4-shape tunebook) uses
dots for extenders .. see the page at the link below.  Not sure whether you
all consider the Sacred Harp Publishing Company as a reputable publisher,
but for a chunk of your user base, it's the gold standard.*

 A feature request.  This will be more readily accepted
 if they are accompanied by a scanned image from a reputable music publisher
 showing what the alternative
 forms of the extender line should look like.

 Oops, you needed dotted lines, not dashed ones ... sorry, I have no clue at
 the moment.

I don't think so, see

How can I change the lyric extender from a solid line to a dotted one? 
 Nothing in the LSR or manuals discusses this.




Digging through the sources, it looks as if the LyricExtender is hard-coded
in the sources, so the is no easy way to change it, but perhaps you can
(mis)use a text spanner?
