Hi Risto
The \addlyrics construct does have its limitations due to relying on the
implicit creation of the various contexts, and this seems to be one of them,
although I would regard this as a bug.
If you specify the contexts explicitly you can use the \with construct,
which does seem to work as you would like:
{
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "a" {
R1 c'2 c'
}
}
\new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.5 . 20) } {
\lyricsto "a" {
Tra la!
}
}
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "b" {
c'2 c' c' c'
}
}
\new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.5 . 5) } {
\lyricsto "b" {
Tra la la la!
}
}
>>
}

Subject: Re: minimumVerticalExtent & minimum-Y-extent
2008/4/8 Mats Bengtsson :
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
}
}
was 'working'.
Yes, but as you have seen, it redefines all Lyric contexts in the score.
Now, how do I keep the 'above default spacing' for the first verse?
To do settings for only one specific instantiation of a context, use the
\with construct:
\new Lyrics \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0
.
0) }
{ Here comes the ly -- rics }
I noticed that \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent works
with lyrics only in certain conditions.
If the lyrics start at the beginning of the piece it works. However,
if there's a rest before the music and the lyrics begin the
minimum-Y-Extent doesn't seem to work anymore. The global setting
works, of course, but the explicit settings for single voices don't.
Here's an example... There should be a huge gap on top of the first
lyrics. There's not. The setting works with the second lyrics.
%%%% Begin %%%%
\version "2.11.48"
{
<<
% Remove the R1 to apply the minimum-Y-extent.
{ R1 c'2 c' }
\addlyrics {
\override Lyrics . VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =
#'(-0.5 . 20) Tra la! }
{ c'2 c' c' c' }
\addlyrics {
\override Lyrics . VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =
#'(-0.5 . 5) Tra la la la! }
>>
}
%%%%% END %%%%%
It could be that I'm not using the setting correctly. If that's the
case, could someone point me in the right direction?
