The lilypond script has hard-coded the distance from the bottom of the score to the baseline of the footer text to be 2 mm. This seems silly to me, since the bottom margin of the page (including the footer text) is set to 20 mm. I think this is a clear bug which should be fixed as soon as possible. In the mean time, you could either hack /usr/local(bin/lilypond according to the following patch, or set the paper variable textheight within your scores (reduce it a bit from the default 260 mm if you use A4 paper).

I'll write a follow-up to bug-lilypond.

In typesetting lead sheets, we occasionally run into a situation where
the lyrics text and the footer text are very close to one another - as
shown on the attached PNG file. What would be the best way of adding
some padding space between the lyrics text and the footer text? I am
thinking that decreasing the space between the lyrics text and the staff
would work. Is is possible to do this for just the last staff on the
page?
Thanks in advance, Nick
