A P.S. to my beginner musings:
Perhaps, the VerticalAxisGroup stretchability variable could be adjusted
in its behavior, so that when it is at 0, no bounding box/skyline
safeguards are considered for the nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing property
at all - the 'text baseline to staff center' relationship would be rigid
with no stretching/shifting for any reason. If someone wants to use
negative padding numbers to vertically place a lyric line up into a
staff so that it clashes with objects, and also sets stretchability to
0, then so be it. (That could also apply to any of the other spacing
properties: nonstaff-nonstaff, nonstaff-unrelatedstaff, etc.) I think
that would make my situation work, if the developers deem it worthy of
consideration. To my beginner observations, stretchability = 0 does not
mean no stretchability, at the moment.
This is assuming I am not missing or misunderstanding something that is
described in the extensive documentation. (Today, I found documentation
on how to contribute to the documentation. LilyPond is an amazing project!)
Peace,
David
