Re: Vertical lyric/stanza spacing

[Mats Bengtsson]

Basically, the answer is found in the section on "Vertical spacing".
There, you can see how to change the minimumVerticalExtent for
a Staff, but you can do exactly the same for a Lyrics context.
To find the default value, go to Program Reference -> Translation ->
Contexts -> Lyrics.
If you need more details, search the mailing list archives.
