Steps to reproduce:

1. Set NVDA to use OneCore and one of the English voices. Mark will work.
2. You'll need to reset your punctuation/symbols to defaults, unless you know you haven't modified the -. There's no way to do this from the GUI, so back up or delete symbols_en.dic manually.
3. Set symbol level to some.
4. Read the following: Jean-Luc Picard, 1950-1960
5. Change Preserve of - to always and read them again.

Actual behavior:

I hear Jean Luc Picard, and 1950 1960

Expected behavior:

The synthesizer knows what it's doing here, so I want to hear these pronounced correctly.
This should also apply to —. – is set to always by default, so should be fine.
