I'm confused (again...). I would expect that in the followig

But instead, I get what you can see in the attachment...
What am I doing wrong?
Two things.
1) Manual beams will indicate melismata, causing one LyricText to cover
multiple notes. This default behavior can be disabled.
2) LilyPond uses a double hyphen "--" to indicate a centered LyricHyphen
between two LyricTexts. Saying "letz-te" counts as a single LyricText.
