Hold on, this is requesting something different, sorry
@ Jojo--Yes, this Feature Request goes back to the the one I made last year. Miwarre created a patch but unfortunately it didn't get merged due to some compatability issues amongst the various flavours of 2.0. I am now hoping that some sort of temporary fix could be made available as a 'stable nightly'--compatible with all 2.0.x versions--that simply changes the default max dash spacing to a smaller value--say 12sp or 8sp--without (for now) addressing the issue of making this configurable through the UI.
From the various comments on this question that have been posted, it seems many users agree the current default of 16sp for maximum dash spacing is too wide. I know that for me, it has become a production issue, so anything that can be done while waiting for complete user control (presumably in 2.1) will be appreciated.
Bumping this one back to life. Does anyone know if this patch ever made it into a nightly build? I have looked up the PR on Github, but I am not competent to build my own version.
(Note--the system obliged me to choose a version before posting this comment, but this patch was written before 2.0.3 IIRC and that's the oldest version in the dropdown. I am running 2.0.1.)

The PR is still open (i.e. not merged, not part of any MuseScore version yet), but needs a rebase.
Thanks; I'm guessing that needing a 'rebase' means the patch needs a review or update to make sure it works with the current state of development, which has changed since Maurizio wrote it?
right
Okay, thanks. I've posted a new discussion under 'Support' asking if anyone competent to compile a Win7 version of 2.0.1 including this patch has the time to do so. I haven't heard from Maurizio for a while, and he doesn't run Windows anyway.
As Miwarre's PR needed a non-trivial rebase, I had a go at it, stole the code and created https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2785
Fixed in branch master, commit ab9ffd633c
fix #88171: Lyrics dash max distance as a parameter
Turns the previously hard-coded max. distance between multiple dashes
into a user configurable score style.
