### 3.1.61 LyricHyphen

LyricHyphen objects are created by: Hyphen_engraver.

Standard settings:

> `after-line-breaking` (boolean):

>   `ly:spanner::kill-zero-spanned-time`

>   Dummy property, used to trigger callback for `after-line-breaking`.

> `dash-period` (number):

>   `10.0`

>   The length of one dash together with whitespace. If negative, no line is drawn at all.

> `height` (dimension, in staff space):

>   `0.42`

>   Height of an object in `staff-space` units.

> `length` (dimension, in staff space):

>   `0.66`

>   User override for the stem length of unbeamed stems.

> `minimum-distance` (dimension, in staff space):

>   `0.1`

>   Minimum distance between rest and notes or beam.

> `minimum-length` (dimension, in staff space):

>   `0.3`

>   Try to make a spanner at least this long, normally in the horizontal direction. This requires an appropriate callback for the `springs-and-rods` property. If added to a `Tie`, this sets the minimum distance between noteheads.

> `padding` (dimension, in staff space):

>   `0.07`

>   Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.

> `springs-and-rods` (boolean):

>   `ly:lyric-hyphen::set-spacing-rods`

>   Dummy variable for triggering spacing routines.

> `stencil` (stencil):

>   `ly:lyric-hyphen::print`

>   The symbol to print.

> `thickness` (number):

>   `1.3`

>   Line thickness, generally measured in `line-thickness`.

> `Y-extent` (pair of numbers):

>   `'(0 . 0)`

>   Hard coded extent in Y direction.
