Yes, i knew that: -, –, — (or -, -- and --- in TeX?). And the only is the
hyphen, i believe: the shortest one .)

I feel like i agree. Actually, what i would like to mention: using a font's
hyphen as a "minimally acceptable hyphen" for lyrics is, probably, bad idea (i
can imagine a sutiation when i need to refuse to use particular font _only_
because it's hyphen is too long for "minimally acceptable" lyrics hyphen "for
current project", let's say).
