vertical alignment of lyrics

[Marcus Stollsteimer]

Hi group,

I have a single staff with lyrics.
How can I change the vertical position of the text?
(in lilypond 2.2.6)

For more than one stanza: how can I change the separation
between stanzas?

Best regards,
Marcus

example:


solo = \notes \relative c { ... }

text = \lyrics { ... }

\context Staff = solo <<
  \global
  \context Voice=solo \solo
  \lyrics <<
    \lyricsto "solo" \new Lyrics \text
  >>
