Notes tied with slur consume two lyric syllables and break LilyPond
Operating System: Windows XP-sp3
MuseScore Version: 0.9.6.3
It seems from the little I have seen of lyric adding conventions (ie some printed examples and LilyPond's conventions) that if two notes are tied with a slur, that they should only use only one word or syllable for the pair. However MuseScore operates differently (and maybe incorrectly) in that it requires two words (or syllables separated with a hyphen) to match up with two notes that are tied with a slur.
When these notes and lyrics are exported for input to LilyPond this difference breaks LilyPond's word<->note synchronization rather badly. See the attached score for examples of slurred note pairs which need a syllable for each note of the pair. Try exporting to LilyPond to see several bad breakdowns in the information transfer.

All the slurred notes in your MuseScore file are hyphenated incorrectly. For example it should be "When wise men came seek-ing" not "When wi-se men came se-ek-ing". (You can press space or hyphen to skip to the next note without adding a syllable).
The issue of supporting export to LilyPond for scores that do not have all the correct slurs and syllables is addressed more fully in #3874: LilyPond: Melismatic syllables
