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.

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.

My goal was to have between-system spacing and between-staves spacing
balanced, so that there would't be a situation in which the systems are put
far apart from themselves but inside them spaves are spaced like in a
ragged-bottom.
Maybe our scores differ so much that there are no settings good for all of
them.
