Re: how to get lilypond to ignore text when creating spaces

[Mats Bengtsson]

The chords are handled just like a stave, when it comes to vertical
spacing. Think of it as an invisible rectangle around each stave
and around each line of chords. These rectangles are placed edge
to edge. The parameters described in this section describe how
LilyPond determines the size of each of these rectangles.
