Fr Michael,

I'm using 2.11.62.

Then on your second (and subsequent) Lyric contexts you'll want to use

\new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(X . -Y) }

where you can adjust the numbers X and Y according to your aesthetic taste/needs.


I guess the \addlyrics{} context doesn't do so well with this ... I'll have to use the \lyricsto way, no? (Now you can see how obtuse I am ... I've never learned \lyricsto !! But hope springs eternal.)

If I can't figure it out, I'll be back!

Thanks for the help. Be assured of our prayers.
