That's adds a lot of complexity. I prefer a simpler approach:
%%
\version "2.18.2"
A = \relative g' { g2 g( g g) g g g g }
n = \lyricmode { "" }
Txt = \lyricmode { Ah Ah __ \n _ Ah Ah }
\score { \A \addlyrics { \Txt } \layout {} }
nbsp = \markup \char ##x00A0 % safer alternative than the literal char (which
does work)
n = \lyricmode { \nbsp }
Txt = \lyricmode { Ah Ah __ \n _ Ah Ah }
\score { \A \addlyrics { \Txt } \layout {} }
%%
The first method can emit warning messages so I use the second,
defined in a library \include.
You only need one melisma stopper, and I then use _ for subsequent notes as
… a melisma __ \n
\repeat unfold 83 _
Next lyric …
is so tidy, and easily edited.
Cheers,
David.
