+If you want to have hyphens centred between syllables (rather than attached
+to the end of the first syllable) you can use the special code(--) lyric as
+separate word between syllables. This will result in a hyphen whose length
+varies depending on the space between syllables, and centred between the
+syllables. For example: 
+mudela(verbatim)(\score{
+  <  \notes \transpose c'' {c d e c | c d e c | e f g'2 | 
+                              e'4 f g'2 \bar "|."; }
