Re: Changing basic distance between stanzas

Thanks, I did look into this, and instead of a warning, I get no change.

See below for what I used.

\version "2.18.2"

notesA = {
  c'
}

vOne = \lyricmode {
  a
}

vTwo = \lyricmode {
  b
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Voice = "mel" { \notesA }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \vOne }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \vTwo }
 
   
  >>
  \layout {
      \context {
        \Lyrics
          \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-5 . 40)
      }
  }
}


IX,

Josh

I think what you found online applies to any extremely old version of
LilyPond.  I find this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-11/msg00119.html
which may be of help.  (I haven't tried it to see if the solution
therein is still current.)
