Re: lyrics above the staff

[Mats Bengtsson]

No no, don't use extra-offset! The most convenient solution is to use 
the alignAboveContext property. See the example template
in appendix "D.4.3 SATB with aligned contexts" in the manual.
An alternative approach is described in the section "The lyrics
context" (and in appendix D.4.1).
