I can think of several possibilities:
- If you include a number of words within double quotes or use
underscores to indicate spaces, LilyPond will handle the full
phrase as a single syllable. Example:
"A long phrase treated as a single syllable"
A_long_phrase_treated_as_a_single_syllable
- If you don't use \addlyrics or \lyricsto, you can explicitly
specify the duration of each syllable, so you can for example
specify a new syllable for each sixteenth note, even if the
music only has quarter notes. Example:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \notes\relative c'{ c4 d e}
\new Lyrics \lyrics{ Group16 of four words }
>>
}

Hello,
I've been looking through the lyric documentation, but I can't seem to
find what I have in mind.
How can I stick several words or phrases under the same note? I'm looking
to write unmetered chant. I don't need much in the way of ancient
symbols, but it will look kind of silly if I have to have an 8th for every
syllable or some such (and that isn't going to make any sense for multiple
verses).
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks!
Jean
