After reading 2.3.2 Aligning lyrics to a melody from the 2.18.2 manual
I still cannot seem to get my lyrics to extend over 2 notes. Am I
missing something or is there something missing from the documentation.
My Christmas sleigh should fill in the complete staff and my Jingle
should stay put in

Hi Kevin,
if you want one syllable to be sung on more than one note, add a slur across the
notes to create a melisma.
This is standard lyrics notation and Lilypond will behave as you would expect.
And if you *really* want that extender line after sleigh, you should
use two underscores, not three.
Hey Thanks,
when I first read the manual I thought Lilypond's symbol to spread or
center a lyric between two note values was the double underscore. No
matter how I placed or spaced it this naturally didn't work. Now I see
from playing with your example that the slur does do the job in this
case.
