'basic-distance' is what you would like to have, 'minimum-distance' is the
least you are willing to accept. I thought the explanation at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables
was very clear.

Hi Matthew,
Yeh, well....
If I search the NM pdf file for 'lyrics spacing' I find p238 which is
not overwhelmingly helpful, and finding the relevant bits as defined for
the \paper entry required more lateral thinking than I was then capable
of. :)
Never mind, I've got it more or less in my head now, and the song sheet
is sorted.
Regards
Bill
