Hi Keith,

The first one I ran across is getting alignment correct for a flexa on a 
single syllable.

\version "2.16.0"
\score {
  <<
    \new VaticanaStaff
    \new VaticanaVoice = "Hymn40" {
e' e' \[\melisma d'\flexa c'\melismaEnd \] d' e' f' d' d' \divisioMinima
     d' d' f' e' c' d' f' \augmentum e' \divisioMaior
     }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Hymn40" {
O Christ who art the Light and Day, thou driv -- est dark -- some night 
a -- way!
    }

I think if you put the first \melisma 'after' the note instead of before 
it it might give what I think you want.
e' e' \[ d'\melisma\flexa c'\melismaEnd \] d' e' f' d' d' \divisioMinima
 d' d' f' e' c' d' f' \augmentum e' \divisioMaior

Hope this helps
