% version 2.12:
\layout{
  \context{
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricText #'font-size = #-2
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( 0 . 0 )
  }
} 

% version 2.13.4 and above:
\layout{
  \context{
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricText #'font-size = #-2
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'inter-loose-line-spacing #'minimum-distance = 
#2.2
  }
}
