No underscore in the score: see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music#multiple-notes-to-one-syllable"A melisma can be defined entirely in the lyrics by entering a single underscore character, _, for every extra note that has to be added to the melisma."
