Re: hyphen in \markup

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why do you use version 2.5.0? If you want to do any serious typesetting,
you should stick to stable releases. Note, that version 2.4.4, for
example is more recent than 2.5.0. On the other hand, if you are curious
about the latest news in the development series, than you should use any
of the most recent 2.5.x versions. If this is the only version available
as a package for your OS, than you should complain loudly to the package
maintainer.

I can confirm that the hyphen does show up in version 2.4.4.
However, if you search the mailing list archives, you will learn
that there have been some problems related to how dashes are treated
in different font encodings.
