Re: variant on many syllables to one note
Thanks Ted, that works. The one remaining problem is restoring the default behaviour of melimas afterwards: The \once trick doesn't work. I've also tried saving and restoring the default value of melismaBusyProperties in a temporary variable but, being ignorant of Scheme syntax, I just get a type error. Likewise, I'm out of my depth stumbling around with \override and \revert.

Re: variant on many syllables to one note
Thanks Jan, it works. Much simpler than I expected - I had assumed that
melismaBusyProperties had some state that needed to be restored.

\unset is the correct answer (for all \set commands if i'm not mistaken):
\version 2.13.45
\relative a' {
\set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
a1 ~ a1 ~ a1 ~ a1
\unset melismaBusyProperties
b1 ~ b1 ~ b1 ~ b1
c1
}
\addlyrics {
An -- ge -- lor -- um
Bla -- lah!
}

Yes, it has - and fortunately that's what \unset does for us! :)
Also, i've just found something that may be useful for you:
\set ignoreMelismata = ##t
works like \set melismaBusyProperties = #'(), but it can be used in
lyrics context (therefore you can ignore melismata in one stanza and
don't ignore it in another one).
You can find more information in Notation Reference, chapter 2
(specialist notation) - vocal music - stanzas - Stanzas with
different rhythms.
cheers,
Janek

Re: variant on many syllables to one note
I'm pretty sure that adding \set melismaBusyProperties = #'() before your notes will do what you want.
