The \lyricsto command detects melismata: it only puts one
syllable under a tied or slurred group of notes. If you want to force
an unslurred group of notes to be a melisma, insert \melisma
after the first note of the group, and \melismaEnd after the
last one, e.g.,
<<
\new Voice = "lala" {
\time 3/4
f4 g8
\melisma
f e f
\melismaEnd
e2
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "lala" {
la di __ daah
}
>>
In addition, notes are considered a melisma if they are manually beamed, and automatic beaming (see Setting automatic beam behavior) is switched off.
A complete example of a SATB score setup is in section Vocal ensembles.

Melismata are not detected automatically, and extender lines must be
inserted by hand.
