Re: vertical distance within verses

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Robert,

> How can I set a wider vertical space within verses?

Here’s an option:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.23.82"

\score {
  <<
    \new Voice = "mel" {
      \relative c'' {
        \clef treble
        \key c \major
        \time 6/8

        | g8. e16 g8 a8. f16 a8
        | g4 (f8) e4.
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto mel
      { \lyricmode { La pas -- to -- ra Ca -- te -- ri -- na } }
    \new Lyrics = "secondVerse" \lyricsto mel
      { \lyricmode { Oh, bons pas -- tors jo di -- ri -- a } }
    \new Lyrics = "thirdVerse" \lyricsto mel
      { \lyricmode { Sant Jo -- sep per la mun -- ta -- nya } }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Lyrics
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.padding = #2
    }
  }
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
