ok - here is what i found out in the meantime - moving stanzas/lyrics closer
to each, but also to the Staff with the notes:
\version "2.12.2"
melody = {\clef "G_8" { c d e f} }
StanzaI = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. " ha ha ha ha }
StanzaII = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2. " ho ho ho ho }
StanzaIII = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "3. " hu hu hu hu }
myScore=
\context Score {
<<
\context Staff="staff" {\new Voice = "melody" \melody}
\context Lyrics="1" \lyricsto "melody" \StanzaI
\context Lyrics="2" \lyricsto "melody" \StanzaII
\context Lyrics="3" \lyricsto "melody" \StanzaIII
>>
}
\score {
\myScore
\layout {
\context {\Lyrics \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0
. 0)}
\context {\Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0
. 0)}
}
}
% this just shows how it looks without any overrides:
\score {\myScore}
if you omit the * \context {\Staff \override … * only the stanzas will be
closer together!
my concern in the former post was if it was (or is) possible to only
\override *one* context to get the text vertically closer - obviously
*\context {\Score \override …* does not really help!
maybe i search in a false direction?!
