I don't think so; it seems the proper number to me - one for each note. The line should stop short of the next syllable, but for reason it is overlapping. It does seem to eb a bug in the current development builds.

Here some new examples, that I stumbled upon with the current nightly 221f20b :
It is an Aria by Stölzel, where I didn't change anything regarding layout, so this should be default.
Example 1 shows, how the underscore overlaps, here even the syllable before touches the next one, the underscore going directly under it.

Example 2 is in the automatically made part. Here the syllables touch and the hyphen is somewhere in the midst of all these letters ...

Don't understand why that should happen, the (xml/mscx) code looks clean to me (for the volta in measure 7, which BTW is too long and overlaps with the volta in measure 8):

          <beginText>
            <text>1.</text>
            </beginText>
