Re: Lead sheet: How to change spacing between staff and chords?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The general principles are described in the section on "Vertical spacing 
inside a system"
in the manual. You can either increase the extent of the Staff context 
upwards:

\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-4 . 7)

or as an alternative, you could increase the extent of the ChordNames 
context downwards:

\override ChordNames.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-3 . 2.5)

(the default setting for ChordNames is described in the program 
reference for
the ChordNames context: 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/ChordNames#ChordNames 
)
