I think that this snippet has a solution for you: https://wiki.lilypond.community/wiki/Vertically_centered_common_lyrics (or) Vertically centered common lyrics (LilyPond snippets) <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.26/Documentation/snippets/vocal-music-_002d-vertically-centered-common-lyrics> As you’ll see there in the dropLyrics command definition, the key is to override extra-offset for multiple elements, not just LyricText. Cheers, Gabriel PS In case helpful: I found this snippet by going to https://wiki.lilypond.community/wiki/Special:Categories, which is now accessible from the home page of https://wiki.lilypond.community.
