You can certainly insert bar checks in the lyrics, just as you do it in
ordinary music:
text = \lyricmode{ Ah! vous | dir -- ai -- | je ma | man | }
If you do that, LilyPond will issue a warning if the places where you
put the | do not coincide with the bar lines.
I'm not sure if this is what you ask for.

Hi all,
I was wondering why lyrics aren't subdivided into measures to make it
easier to keep track of what lyrics fit what notes?
I have a feeling that there must be a reason, because this is a
convention that holds true for many music notation systems, including
Finale.
Is there therefore a strong reason NOT to include measures in lyrics
blocks, or is it just a convention?
Thanks
Aaron
