lyrics distance again

[Rob V]

David,

I tested your code with Bert's suggestions about the minimum vertical extent.  
I was curious about this myself.  I think this might be what you want.



cue = \set fontSize = #-5
part = \set fontSize = #0

VoxCues = \notes \context Voice \relative c' {
    <<
        {
            <<
                \context Voice = "VoxCue" {
                    \cue
                    \override Stem #'length = #5
                    \clef F
                    \autoBeamOff
                    d4 a8 c8. a16 fis8
                    r4 r8 fis dis b
                    \autoBeamOn
                    \revert Stem #'length
                    \part
                }
                \lyricsto "VoxCue" \new Lyrics {\override LyricText #'font-size 
= #-2
\lyrics { 
                    Hun- ding w\"ah- le sich, wem er ge- }
                                           }
            >>  
        }
        \\
        {
            R2.*2
        }
    >>
}

instrument = \notes \context Voice \relative c' {
    s2.*2
    \clef G
     f4.-(-\p-\< b,4-\!-\> c8-)-\!
}

\score {
    \notes \relative c' { 
        \time 6/8

%%%%%  This is what I added  %%%%%%%

\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = ##f
\set Staff.verticalExtent = #'(-2 . 0)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

        <<
            \VoxCues
            \instrument
        >>
 }
    \paper { }
}
