Strange, I've never known Lilypond to do this.  The only time it puts 
one syllable over more than one note for me is when the notes are 
slurred together.  If I run the following code, for example, it has one 
note per syllable and the 8th note are all beamed together:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.12.2"

\relative c' { c8 d e f g2 }
\addlyrics { do re mi fa sol }

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If you run this code and it doesn't put one note per syllable, perhaps 
you could respond with more info, such as what version you're running 
and a sample of code that doesn't behave properly.  As far as I've seen 
the default behavior is to put one note per syllable unless notes are 
slurred or unless melismas are specified some other way.

Best,

Jon
