Hi Philip,

v2.12 and v2.14 stay both so I gess you're using v2.14 (anyway I do not
have v2.12 anymore...)
So how about :

\version "2.14.2"

\include "english.ly"
\include "gregorian.ly"

\layout {
  \context{
    %\Score \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f
  }
  \context{
    \Lyrics \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #2.2
    \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0.8
  }
}

%% To be adjusted:
\paper {
  left-margin = 25
  right-margin = 20
  indent = 30
  %% short-indent = -10
}

\header {
  title = "Menaion ~ 08 September"
  subtitle = "Toparion for the Nativity of the All-holy Theotokos and
Ever-Virgin Mary"
  poet = "Tone 4"
  composer =  "Abbreviated ''Greek'' Chant"
  footer = ""
}

global = {
  \key g \major
  \override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'altdefault
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
  %\override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = ##f
  \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
  \bar "|."
}

move = { \bar "" \break }

soprano = \relative c'' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  g4 g g g g g b2(a) g \bar "'"
  g4 g g a a a g a2. a4 g1 \bar "|"
}

alto = \relative c' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  d4 d d d d d d1 e2 \bar "'"
  e4 e e e e e e fs2. fs4 d1 \bar "|"
}

tenor = \relative c' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  b4 b b b b b d1 b2 \bar "'"
  b4 b b c c c b c2. c4 b1 \bar "|"
}

bass = \relative c' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  g4 g g g g g g2(fs) e \bar "'"
  e4 e e a a a e d2. d4 g1 \bar "|"
}

verse = \lyricmode {
  % Lyrics follow here.
  Thy na -- tiv -- i -- ty, O Vir -- gin,
  hath pro -- claimed joy to the whole un -- i -- verse!
}

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff \with {
      midiInstrument = "string ensemble 1"
      %% How about:
      instrumentName = \markup \right-column { "Soprano " "Alto " }
      %% and also:
      shortInstrumentName = \markup \column { "S " "A " }
    } <<
      \new Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano }
      \new Voice = "alto" { \voiceTwo \alto }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verse
    \new Staff \with {
      midiInstrument = "string ensemble 1"
      instrumentName = \markup \right-column { "Trenor " "Bass " }
      shortInstrumentName = \markup \column { "T " "B " }
    } <<
      \clef bass
      \new Voice = "tenor" { \voiceOne \tenor }
      \new Voice = "bass" { \voiceTwo \bass }
    >>
  >>
  \layout {
    ragged-last=##t
    #(layout-set-staff-size 22)
  }
  \midi {
    \context {
      \Score
      tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 120 4)
    }
  }
}

Cheers,
Pierre

PS. Why not go for v2.19 intsead ??
