Re: aligning markup with many notes

[Mats Bengtsson]

I really recommend that you learn to use \lyricsto, which
is much more flexible than \addlyrics. If you read in the
section called "More stanzas" in the manual, you can find
an example of exactly your situation.

If you insist on using your current text markup hack,
the trick is to increase the property called staff-padding,
which determines the minimum distance from the actual
staff. Something like
\override TextScript #'staff-padding = #3.0
