Technically, I don't know. But, in terms of coherence, I would leave it 
as it is:

one hyphen is treated as one syllable, just like one underscore "skips" 
one (group of) note, and I will type my first-name Jean- Char -- les or 
"Jean -" Char -- les since it's a composed word,

one double-hypen (which may output several dashes depending of the 
length of a melisma) separates syllables of a same word, like a 
double-underscore draws a line indicating the last syllable has to last 
over serveral notes.
