You should be exploring melismata. The Learning Manual on the LilyPond 
website is a good place to start, in Section 2.3.2, and the Notation 
Reference Section 2.1.1 will expand on the topic.

More generally, you would do well to take a bit of time and work through 
the Learning Manual, as it will give a good overview on how things are 
described and named in LilyPond. It will ease the challenge of trying to 
convert musicXML into lilypond code. Were you using the musicxml2ly 
program which is part of the lilypond distribution?

Cheers,
Colin
