There are several ways of accomplishing what you want. Perhaps the simplest to
understand is this one:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS %%%%
\version "2.19.83"
thenotes = { \once \phrasingSlurDashed c''4.\( 8\) }
onesyllable = \lyricmode { six \markup \null }
twosyllables = \lyricmode { sev -- en }
\score {
<<
\new Staff \new Voice \thenotes
\addlyrics \onesyllable
\addlyrics \twosyllables
>>
}
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS %%%%
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
