May I add just two little comments: If you intend to suppress "short" extension lines in general, you can also set \minlyrrulelength=<something> in your preamble, giving its effect a global scope. The melisma syntax involving the '_' character is not directly related to the word extension lines - it's defined like that just because of its nice, suggestive appearance. As Christian told, the melisma layout is controlled soleley by \minlyrrulelength.
