To get rid of the beams, all you have to do is say:
\property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
which I do for almost all vocal music.
What you really meant say was that you were adding a slur. You should
be able to make the slur invisible by saying something like:
\property Voice.Slur \override #'transparent = ##t
but I just tested that and it doesn't work. I'm sure there's
something similar that does, though.
I didn't know how to do this when I started doing things like you're
doing, so I just put in enough blank syllables to get the non-blank
ones to line up, which is tedious and error-prone. A blank syllable
is indicated by a single _.
