I don't fully understand... Are you refering to the lyricsStaff.png picture? The lyrics in it surely are quite close to the lower staff, but i wouldn't say that they're too close. > I think we still want enough 'minimum-distance to the lower staff so that > Lyrics are always a little closer to the Staff they are associated with, > than they are to the next lower staff. Yes, but i had some problems with this. When i tried compiling the attached score with your settings, LilyPond put the lyrics too high. In this case they should be centered (because they apply to both staves) and i told LilyPond to do so: \new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #CENTER } but the result was wrong. > Is that what you intended, or do people reading choral music like to have > lyrics centered between the two staves? > > My other question is about your reduction in the stretchability between > systems.

Maybe our scores differ so much that there are no settings good for all of them. cheers, Janek
