LyricEvents are generated by the following code in music-functions.scm:

(define-public (make-lyric-event string duration)
  (make-music 'LyricEvent
              'duration duration
              'text string))

Here only a few lines of code are enough to add LyricExtender events for every 
syllable by default.
Of course we  would need to disable the warning about more than one extender 
event.

But do we want to enable lyric extenders by default?
