Well, for the german language you would use the official hyphenation rules that 
apply to
hyphenation at the end of a line as a base. Obviously one of the rules cannot 
be used for
lyrics: it's also necessary to hyphenate single vowels at the start or end of 
words like aber,
über, etc.

Have a look at http://projekte.dante.de/Trennmuster ... Werner knows that URL
