Lyrics above staff in a SATB context

Hello,

How do I most sensibly produce a SATB score with two staves so that
S lyrics are above, A lyrics below the staff, and ditto for T, B?
Please see

for an example of where this would be needed.  As you can see, by using
the instructions from the FAQ I have managed to put the tenor lyrics
above the staff, but the soprano lyrics remain underneath, which forces
the staves quite far apart (since there's two stanzas for the S, one for
A, and again two for T, between the staves).

I've also got another question: how do I make more room for the title
and composer information? (i.e. how do I force the first staff to start
lower down on the page?)
