Re: Newbie Q: Fingering annotations clobbered by lyrics.

[Mats Bengtsson]

For the first question, see

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vertical-spacing.html#Vertical%20spacing
The default values of minimumVerticalExtent for lyrices voices can be
found at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/LyricsVoice.html#LyricsVoice
and for staves at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Staff.html#Staff

For the second questions, there are several possibilities. On solution
is to use an extra lyrics line for the fingerings, another is to
(mis)use the figured bass support.
