Comment #1 on issue 2458 by address@hidden: Remove small gaps  
between lyric syllables

Gould, page 448.  "It is acceptable to omit a hyphen between a two-syllable  
word to save space provided that the word cannot be elided into a single  
syllable in error.  However, hyphens always clarify text underlay.  It is  
essential to divide words of more than two sylables with hyphens."

She gives an example of call-ed, where it's often pronounced while singing  
as two syllables, but is always a single syllable spoken.  Eliding the  
hyphen or space would make this distinction difficult to see.
