I think the "Salve, "Regína" example in NR 2.8 "Ancient Notation" would be improved by using LyricHyphens. For example, instead of "Sal- ve, Re- gí- na," use "Sal -- ve, Re -- gí -- na,". Unless there's some ancient hyphen typesetting convention that I don't know about. The file involved is input/manual/ancient-headword.ly. There may be others, but I just noticed it there. Anyone care to comment on that?
I know essentially nothing about ancient music, but as these examples were set by experts I assume they know what should be done. I doubt that ancient music was ever typeset using modern lyric spacing hyphens, not least because the ligatures are conventionally grouped closely together, and the syllable (with the hyphen) almost always sits neatly under them.
