alignment-offsets has been replaced with alignment-distances and the semantics have changed too: alignment-distances gives the distances between staves (but not Lyrics or other loosely spaced lines) so its length should be one less than the number of staves. Also, you can set a forced distance of 23 for any of the xxx-spacing variables with xxx-spacing = #'((space . 23) (minimum-distance . 23) (stretchability . 0)) Let me know if there is functionality that you can't achieve with these settings.
