Re: Text annotation for hymn stanzas

[Mats Bengtsson]

You can set the property extraVerticalExtent to increase the space
above or below a verse. For example, to increase the spacing below
a line of lyrics, you can do
\new Lyrics \with {extraVerticalExtent = #'(-3 . 0)} \lyricsto mymelody 
\mylyrics
