Ah!  I think I got this one:

 \override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0.8 . 0)

This will allow me to add extra space between the numbers (which are in the right place) and the start of the lyric text.

There is this one song that is in c-minor and so the key signature shows the three flat signs at the beginning of each staff.

But c-major doesn't need any extra signs.

However, I am numbering my lyrics like this so that I get numbers on every line: \new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = "8." shortInstrumentName = "8." }

\context{
\Lyrics
% **** Verse numbering using instrumentname
\override InstrumentName.X-offset = 3
\override InstrumentName.font-size = 0
}

This puts my numbering just under the three flat signs in c-minor.

But my problem is that in c-major the lyric text overlaps the numbers.

So, how can I insert a "blank" in the staff where I'd normally have the three flats? (I'm looking in the docs at \staff and horizontal spacing....)
