Hi, sorry it took so long... Looks like it's not possible to achieve some results that i wanted only with changing default values for spacing algorithm. As for me the attached settings work quite well. In particular your Lyric spacing settings didn't produce good results when lyrics were centered between two staves, so i changed them.
cheers,
