Re: Vertical Lyric Spacing Issue

[Mats Bengtsson]

There have already been some bug reports related to the vertical spacing of
lyrics in the latest development versions. I recommend to use the latest 
stable
version 2.10.x for any serious typesetting, unless you need any of the new
features of the unstable 2.11.x version.
