Thanks Phil, for your answer - but I usually (is it right?), as in your
example, write "Sanc __tus"
The problem is that you confuse hyphens (-) with underscores (_). In
your examples, you have two underscores inbetween the syllables of
‘sanctus’; but what you need in that place are two hyphens: sanc -- tus,
in order to obtain a correct lyric hyphen from LilyPond. And the two
underscores __ are used to make an extender line in such cases as you
asked about, when the last syllable of a word has many notes. (And a
single underscore serves as an empty syllable, so to speak, in order to
skip notes.)
HTH,

PS. I’d rather write san -- ctus instead of sanc -- tus, but I don’t
know of any fixed rules for Latin hyphenation and therefore am not sure.
