There are two options here, both creating a tweaked TextSpanner:

1) stay with 2.12 and add the Text_spanner_engraver to the Lyrics
context (`underline-2.12.ly');

2) upgrade to 2.13 and use a scheme engraver which adapts the
behaviour of the Text_spanner_engraver to work directly with lyrics
(`underline-2.13.ly').

Since it appears you're typesetting a single vocal line, the former
option might suffice.  The latter is much more complicated, though it
does guarantee correct alignment with syllables since it uses the
lyrics as bounds of the TextSpanner instead of paper columns.

Cheers,
Neil
