Of course you can fool LilyPond into beleiving that two words should
be treated like a single syllable. Either enclose them within double quotes:
"two words"

The notational convention for songs is to write two slurred (or tied)
quarter notes. Since this notation means something else for a guitarist,

to choose wh

lyrics with a half note. No matter how I have attempted to say make the

Your message:
I have a measure in 2/2 time which I have four quarter notes. Below it I

a b c d
si -- lience
The notes 'a' and 'b' are paired with 'si--'
