Why are you reentering all those engravers when you copy them from
\Lyrics anyway? You can use
\layout { \override Lyrics.LyricText #'font-size = #-1 }
in order to catch all aliases of Lyrics in one fell swoop. So this
gives
%% Implement an alternate lyric context
myLayout =
\layout {
\context{
\Lyrics
\description "Corresponds to a voice with lyrics. Handles the
printing of a single line of lyrics. More lower vertical space
than default-Lyrics"
\name "AltLyrics"
\alias Lyrics
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
\override LyricText #'color = #(x11-color 'grey20)
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0)
(minimum-distance . 5) ;; <================ more lower space
(padding . 0.2)
(stretchability . 0))
}
\context {
\Score
\accepts AltLyrics
}
\context {
\StaffGroup
\accepts AltLyrics
}
\context {
\ChoirStaff
\accepts AltLyrics
}
\override Lyrics.LyricText #'font-size = #-1
}
