Re: Vertically overlap lyrics context with staff context

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always tell what LilyPond version you use. I will
assume that you have version 2.6.x.

The easiest is probably to specify a fixed extent for the
staff context. Try something like:

\new Staff \with {verticalExtent = #'(-4.0 . 4.0) } {...}

You can find some related information in the section on
Vertical Spacing and the link to Axis_group_engraver.
