Hi Kieren, Risto and Joe, thanks for your answers. They were all very helpful for me. In detail:
1. I added the following to my \layout { } block: \context { \Lyrics \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.5 . 2.5) } which works very good. Could one explain what the two values are for? I only played around with the right one ... 2. I added the following to my \layout { } block: \context { \Score \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t } and it works good for the one problem that lyrics stick out of the _right_ side. The stanza numbers and "Refr. " and so on the left side still stick out! So I installed the current development version 2.11.39 and ran all the scores through it. And now this problem is solved, too. I hope that there won´t be other problems with this version :-/ 3. The LyricHyphen also helped me! I added the following to my \layout { } block: \context { \Lyrics \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-length = #0.5 \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #0.2 } 4. I didn´t check this right now because it´s the less important thing by now, but I will do so in the near future. Although I´m happy that there is a way to this. Thank you all for your answers!
