Thank you, yes, that was exactly what I needed.

For reference, this is my example fixed:


\version "2.14.2"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing
       #'minimum-distance = ##f
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing
       #'minumum-distance = ##f
    \override LyricText #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.6 . 2.0)
  }
}

<<
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice = "a" { f'4 g' r2 | s1 }
    \new Voice = "b" { s1        | a'2 g' }
  >>
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "a" \lyricmode { may -- be }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "b" \lyricmode { that the }
>>
