Hi,

[Please keep the replies on-list, so everybody can follow.]

what if the note is not one but many?

See the very last word "jago" in the attached music score.

This requires no change in the lyrics you enter:

ja -- go

will do fine. But you have to tell LilyPond to create a melisma: For example, using a slur, or an explicit \melisma:

\version "2.22"

\relative {
  c'8 d e16\melisma f g f e f d g e'32 d c b a g f d\melismaEnd c4
} \addlyrics {
  Vir -- tu -- o -- so.
}

I really strongly recommend you work through the Learning Manual (especially the tutorial), most of your questions are answered there.
