[...] So here a very first shot. For now I let display the new _and_ the colored default LyricHyphen. You'll see a drawback already: In tight situations the default gets shortened until it vanishs. This is not possible or at least not desirable for characters taken from a font, imho. Iirc this was already mentioned in the discussion the tracker links to. Maybe minimum-distance may help here, not tested though.
Yes, now that my memory is awake again, I seem to recall that I mentioned that few years ago already. At least shrinking should be undesirable for more than a very few percent of the width, similar to the microtype settings in the namesake LaTeX package. Since I typically increase minimum-distance /and/ plan to revisit the magnetic-syllable-snap openlilylib snippet for this piece again, I hope that it won't be an issue.
Anyway, beautiful work, thanks a lot. I did not try it yet in real life, but will do so on the weekend and report back. In your test case, it works like a charm.
Cheers, Alexander
