The length and width of lyric hyphens depends on the "spatium" or scaling in Layout > Page Settings, but does not resize when the font size is increased via Style > Edit Text Style > Lyrics.

Ideally MuseScore would use the actual hyphen from the font specified in Style > Edit Text Style > Lyrics instead of try to approximate with a line.

r. 1894 closely approximates the lyric hyphen but only for the default font and size.

In rev. 1896 the lyrics hyphen resizes with the configured font size.
The current implementation assumes that hyphens can have arbitrary length which is probably wrong. Its difficult to change the implementation to use the fonts hyphen glyph and maybe the ability to make a hyphen shorter is of some use. So i will leave the implementation the way it is for now.
