Hello,

Some German lyrics from before the times of Neue Deutsche Rechtschreibung
feature ck between two syllables. Without Hyphen it is "lecker", with
hyphen
it is "lek-ker". Using lec -- ker or lek -- ker ( on purpose not le --
cker)
the hyphen may or may not appear. Is there anything beyond trial and
error
to avoid lec-ker or lekker?

Some time ago there was an idea of introducing "lek == ker" for forcing
a hyphen but otherwise no change to formatting compared to "lek -- ker".
Has there happened anything since (I did not find anything in the 2.16
doc)?
The following should make it:

\context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #1
}

I think Klaus did not ask for forcing the hyphen to be visible, or forcing it to be hidden, but instead choose the letters depending on whether the hyphen appears or not in that place (with automatic deduction how cramped the space is).


Best,
Alexander
