the adding happens in

void
Align_interface::align_elements_to_extents (Grob *me, Axis a)

you  could patch that

* to accept a list of extra-spaces, to tune each each space separately.

* to ignore the extra space for certain elements that have some boolean 
property set; then you set that property in the VerticalAxisGroup for 
Lyrics.
