the Denemo user's fault (me, in this case), it would seem I should
have
written -- instead of - attached ... ignorance (sigh!).
I did a search and replace "- " with " -- " and uploaded a new version
http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/278632
I left the long melismata as it is in the original print, because I
don't know what else to do with it. And I took the opportunity to tweak
the beaming and the line break at half-bar. I thought it was worth
tweaking, as this is out there as an example of LilyPond typesetting. It
is now LilyPond 2.18

If you were setting this now, you would use a lyric extender.

Older typesetting often uses multiple dots (periods) for this: I always
replace them with the horizontal line.
