Hello Phil,

oops, you're right. It was a "short hack" I did. In my first version, I 
didn't use extra-offset ... with that you can move the lyrics without an 
extent-modification. I will modify the snippet!

If you want to move the lyrics with Y-offset, you have to set Y-extent 
less than zero *and* set self-alignment-Y for this to work - as 
mentioned by Dmytro.

  \new Staff \new Voice = "voc" { \relative c' {

  } }
  \new Lyrics \with {
    \override LyricText #'self-alignment-Y = #0
    \override LyricText #'Y-extent = #'(1 . -1)
    \override LyricText #'Y-offset = #6
  } \lyricsto "voc" {
    a b c d e f g a
  }

So you don't need it with extra-offset but with Y-offset.
I will modify the snippet to show both versions. And I will be more 
accurate in my future contribs!
Sorry for the noise!

Regards, Jan-Peter.
