Comment #11 on issue 1483 by [email protected]: Lyric alignment is wrong in 2.13.46
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1483

I agree with that, but don't have the spare 5 minutes to do it myself. I've just made this example:

\paper {
  system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20
  % between-system-space = 5 \cm
  % ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  }

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff = women <<
      \new Voice = "sopranos" {
        \voiceOne
        fis4 fis fis fis | \break
        fis4 fis fis fis
      }
    \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "women" } {
      \lyricsto sopranos { La la la la la la la la }
    }
    >>
  >>
}

which uses the alternative way of putting lyrics above the staff, and as you can see, there isn't the extreme spacing problem with the other method. I could live with the fix to this being a statement in the NR explaining how lyric placement is affected by how the lyric alignment is specified, given that the method I'm using here is an easy way to get well placed lyrics.
