\notes{c d e f g }
\lyrics{li -- _ -- _ -- ly -- pond }which is easy to do with find/replace in the files but produces hyphens that are somewhat unevenly spaced. Sorry, can't think of any better solution at the moment.
Note also that the lyrics alignment has been completely reimplemented in recent development versions of LilyPond, which should solve many of the alignment problems of earlier versions.

Hi
I would like to know if there is any way to indicate a melisma using the underscore _ (or other character) inside the Lyrics block.
I know that to get a melisma the proper thing to do is combine the lines:
\notes{c \melisma d e f \melismaEnd g} \lyrics{li -- ly -- pond }
but I would like to use something similar to
\notes{c d e f g } \lyrics{li -- _ _ ly -- pond }
I have written some lilypond files with music by Tomas Luis de Victoria (http://tomasluisdevictoria.org),
using this erroneus syntax because I thought it was correct.
The problem of this approach is that the hypens are not properly displayed nor the alignment is correct.
I tried to adapt it to the good syntax but it is a great lot of work,
there are more than 200 files and it is music very melismatic and with many different voices.
For that reason, my last hope is that there exist a variable o property to force lilypond to understand the underscores as
melisma and treat them as if there were a pair \melisma \melismaEnd inserted.
Thank you in advance NANCHO
