Hyphen not working for lyrics
I cannot connect syllables...
"Hyphen (to connect syllables): Press - at the end of a syllable."
Pressing "-" on ym keybaord does not work whatsoever. Super super frustrating I've had this issue ever since Musescore migrated to version 4 I'm not sure why its like that but if anyone can give me any pointers or at least tell me if this is known bug or its just been broken for me for almost a year now and I don't know why
My work around is manually typing the hyphen by pressing (on Mac) option + "-" but you can see what a hyphen is supposed to look like (first) vs what it looks like for me (second one).

So that first hyphen worked, but the second did not?

The first hyphen was from pasting my lyric: to- ge- ther
So I did paste, paste, and here for this 3rd note its still the syllable "ge" so I would normally press "-" here to extend the hyphen over 2 notes but it doesnt work. So what I do it press option + "-" (type the hyphen manually) and then paste the remaining syllable "ther"

Option + - adds a real dash, while the lyrics dash is a line drawn by the software

If i read the handbook correctly you need to press the hyphen twice in this case. The first press will only move to the first B in your example, and pressing the hyphen again will move input to the next B leaving just the hyphen under the first B.
(I don't work so much with lyrics or MS 4, so there might be something I'm missing)
