Difficult to answer without an attached score (MSCZ file) or an image.
If you mean a melisma to continue a lyric syllable over more than one note, see the Handbook:

(Not only) as a beginner it is very useful to read a little bit in the handbook.

I would like to do that, particularly in specific areas I am currently working. But I can see no search function on the site to hone in on topics of interest. If I could "search" for what I wanted, would be happy to pursue the topics online without troubling you kind gentlemen.

Thank you. I would like to do that, but there is a lot and not all of it is pertinent to me, so I just don't have time to do that.

Then go for the basics on creating a score, note entry and voices. Then browse through the index list of https://musescore.org/en/handbook for any other chapter that might need your immediate attention.

There actually is a search box on the main Handbook page, on the right hand side. But it isn't very good, or so it usually seems. i think it's usually much more effective to simply browser the main list of topics - usually it's pretty obvious which one to then click. For instance, there is a section labeled "Lyrics", that's the obvious choice here. Even just typing Ctrl+F (or whatever your particular browser uses for search within current page) and then "lyrics" would take you right there. So do give it a shot next time, you'll usually get fantastic answers within seconds :-)

"There actually is a search box on the main Handbook page, on the right hand side. But it isn't very good, or so it usually seems."
I so agree. The inability of the Handbook search to find the correct topic is astonishing, especially when the search term is a very relevant keyword. This means that it's often quicker to find the correct Handbook chapter by running an online Google search!
I think it is time to treat this as a problem which needs to be fixed. But how to request the necessary work? Who actually controls or "owns" the code which responds to a search of the Handbook?
