For what it's worth, the standard among American publishers, also put in writing in a brochure on notation produced by the Music Publishers' Association, is to follow dictionary hyphenation. On one hand that's the long and short of it, but some words are hyphenated differently from one dictionary

I get a little uneasy when scholars strip music to the bone and claim to have pigeon-holed it. For me, its the same with all music. I used to get furious back in the old days at the music faculty (Melbourne) when my professor stripped Mozart down bar by bar, note by note, chord by chord and smu
