Re: Gregorian: modern staff? Lyrics spacing?

[Eluze]

I have no idea which snippet you're talking of, but this might help:

\new Lyrics \with {
% \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0 . 0)
\override 
VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.minimum-distance = #2
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.basic-distance 
= #2
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #.4
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.stretchability 
= #99
}

with numbers you can adapt
