Hi, \addlyrics is equivalent to \new Lyrics . Spacing between staff and lyrics is not controlled by 'staff-staff-spacing but by 'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing . See "Spacing of non-staff lines" within the doc: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems.html#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
