The easiest is just to put all the words together within double quotes, so LilyPond
handles them as a single syllable:

\lyricmode{ "This sentence is handled like a single syllable" This one is not! }

If you have so many words that you need a line break in the middle of the
pseudo-chant, you would need some more advanced tricks, such as connecting
them to a voice with invisible notes.

I have searched the documentation as well as I can, and find nothing on this topic. I want to write ordinary notation, but to have a pseudo-chant section where there are many syllables to one note. How do I format my lyrics to make this happen?

Thanks
David
