New issue 2638 by address@hidden: Lyric Hyphens aren't placed  
equally far from neighbor syllables
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2638

This example is a bit artificial, but illustrates the problem well:

\version "2.15.39"
{ f'16 f' f' f' }
\addlyrics { W -- o -- pp -- p }

first hyphen is much closer to 'o' than to 'W'.  2nd and 3rd hyphens are  
closer to the syllable on the left.

This happens because syllables' are treated as if they had straight  
vertical edges (no "kerning" is applied).  Perhaps using skylines would  
solve this problem - see issue 2148.
