Re: Lyrics: many syllables -> one note?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest is just to put all the words together within double quotes, 
so LilyPond
handles them as a single syllable:

\lyricmode{ "This sentence is handled like a single syllable" This one 
is not! }

If you have so many words that you need a line break in the middle of the
pseudo-chant, you would need some more advanced tricks, such as connecting
them to a voice with invisible notes.
