I use the lyluatex package for my latest project. Everything looks fine,

I want to control the distance between staves, and adding a padding
below the lyrics does not work, since the Lilypond output is cropped
line by line, ignoring the padding AFAIK.
Is there a way to manually or even better automatically insert an
invisible spacer in the lyrics at the beginning of each new line to
increase the spacing?
I have stooped to adding extra verses, eg
\addlyrics { \versei }
\addlyrics { \verseii }
\addlyrics { \spacer }
\addlyrics { \spacer }
where the spacer verse might be
spacer = \lyricmode {
\NBSP _ _ _ _ _ _ _
\NBSP _ _ _ _ _
\NBSP _ _ _ _ _ _ _
\NBSP _ _ _ _ _
}
for an 8686-metre hymn for example.
NBSP = \lyricmode { " " } % non-breakable space
It's not automatic, particularly for "prose" music where the number of
syllables per line is variable. However, it's flexible: you can change
some of the NBSPs back to _ and only pad certain systems (where, for
example, an extra bit of bass lyrics below the staves is getting too
close to the following system. That's tricker to do with
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(<N> . <N>)
If your cropper is intelligent enough to recognise NBSP as whitespace
and zap it, then there's always the standby
invisibledot = \lyricmode { \once \override LyricText.font-size = #-19 "." }
Thanks for these ideas, I'll give it a try!
Best regards,
Marc
