Lyrics: hyphen beginning of stave

I repeat, it is NOT standard, as BassoContinuo wrote and as I already stated above. I’m glad this is on their backlog and no longer considered to be ‘unambiguously correct’.

I was just looking for a solution to the hyphen in the beginning of a line issue, but in the latest version of Dorico I still don’t see a fix for it unless I missed it somewhere. Has it been addressed yet?

No, there is no change to this behavior as of 3.5.12.

Thanks for the update.

In v. 3.5, how do I get rid of the pesky hyphen at the beginning of a system?
If 4.x has a better fix for this, can you also tell me what it is? (I’m still using 3.5, but hope to update to 4.x sometime.)
Thank you.

Dorico 4 includes an engraving option to handle this situation; the option was new in Dorico 4, so it is not available in Dorico 3.5.
