Re: How to increase space between chord names and the fret diagram?

[Mats Bengtsson]

That's not exactly what I had in mind. Since the default value of
minimum-Y-extent in Lyrics is (-1.2 . 2.4) (see the program reference 
for the
Lyrics context to find out, 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Lyrics.html#Lyrics),
and since the fretboards are much higher than normal lyrics, I would rather
use something like

\score{
 ...
 \layout{
   ragged-right = ##t
   \context{
     \Lyrics
     \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #2.0
     \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1.2 . 9.0)
  }
 }
}
