I have no idea which snippet you're talking of, but this might help:

\new Lyrics \with {
% \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0 . 0)
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.minimum-distance = #2 \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.basic-distance = #2
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #.4
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.stretchability = #99
}

with numbers you can adapt

Dear list

I'm dealing with Gregorian notation for the first time by reproducing a Schütz
piece from IMSLP¹.  After digging through the docs, I managed to solve most of
the hurdles that I came across by myself.

I'm almost finished and only need your advice for two things. Please see
attached a screenie crop of the original and of what I achieved so far.




2) I applied the docs’ snippet on vertical lyrics spacing to get the lyrics
    closer to the staff. The page is rather crowded, every millimetre would
    help. But it doesn’t seem to have any effect. What am I missing?
