Re: Melisma error.

[Mats Bengtsson]

What is the problem? It's much easier if you send a complete (but small) 
example
that can be ran directly through LilyPond. Also, please always tell what 
LilyPond
version you are using. Based on your example, i made
the following complete example which seems to work well:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{\time 3/4 a   d, b' | a2   d,4 | e2. ~ | e |}
\addlyrics
{Let it be --  gin with   me __ }

Be careful about the syntax. If you want an extender line, use a double
underline separated from the previous syllable by a space. Similarly, I
recommend to use a -- to get a hyphen that's typeset centered between the
syllables.
