Confirmed. And also the case in 3.4.1, probably earlier too
3.2.3 and 3.1.0 too, probable ever since 3.0, ever since staff type change is supported

Also is a problem in 3.6.2 and the nightly!
See example below - I aligned the offset via the button for setting it below the line ...
The hyphens stay at their position - and as they cannot be set separately, I fear, I cannot do anything to get the expected result ...
IMHO this is real problem and should be fixed as soon as possible!

Unless I'm missing something, your example here is not related - there is no staff type change. Yours is simply a matter of having set an inappropriate alignment. Center alignment doesn't make sense for lyrics, and wouldn't do what you are wanting here - it would cause the lyrics to be ragged, as their centers would be aligned rather than baselines, so for instance the letters "P" and "p" would not line up as they should. Better to simply adjust the offsets if your goal was to make the single-verse lyrics appear between the two verses in the earlier section.
Sorry for adding it to a wrong issue and thanks for your answer. It worked after re-automating the setting and then again try to use the offset. Probably because of a former manual setting, it was a little bit complicating, as some lyrics used sp and some mm ...
Yeah, I noticed the "mm" also. That happens if you disable the "Follow staff size" option. Generally speaking, you shouldn't do that except for things like titles (which have this disabled by default already). Virtually everything else should scale with staff size.
