A hyphen appears between the first two syllables as expected. However a hyphen also appears between the second and third syllables unexpectedly.

Likewise with spaces:

  1. Double click on the fifth syllable ("ex")
  2. Press Space

    3. The hyphen between the sixth and seventh syllables unexpectedly disappears.

Making changes to the lyrics can introduce unexpected hyphen mistakes that are easy to miss if you aren't paying attention to it.

Loss of proper hyphenation is not a huge deal for casual scores but it becomes critical in a production environment.
