I just want to obtain the correct beaming behaviour in vocal music (like in
the sample image i sent) without getting mad beaming and "melismaing" by

The rule should simply be "Break beam on every new syllable".
Since lilypond implemented the auto-melisma using dashes in lyrics context, i
think this little auto-unbeaming rule will improve much output fidelity to
traditional engraving.
-Traditional scores *always* separate each syllable in beaming
-two syllables *never* are beamed together.
-beaming is used only on the same syllable
Yeah, i said the same thing in 3 different ways.... Now it's clear, i hope ;-)
My point is that if you want LilyPond to break a beam whenever there is
a new
syllable, then it has to know how long each syllable is. If you use
\lyricsto, then
LilyPond figures out the duration of each syllable based on information
in a
music voice. In that process, it looks at beams and slurs to figure out
if there
are any melismas. If you want the beaming to be determined based on the
syllables,
then LilyPond needs some other method to figure out the duration of each
syllable.
How do you want that to work?
