Hi all - and happy Easter!
Quick question - how can I tweak the vertical space between two lyric lines individually (so not the same space between all lines) - I assume something with the VerticalAxisGroup. but wasn't successful yet.
Something like:
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" \verseThree
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" \verseThreeB
    \new Lyrics \with {Extraspace to Line above} \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" \verseFour
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" \verseFourB

This should do:

\version "2.24.1"

<<
  \new Voice = "Cantus_One_Notes" { c' }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" { aah }
  \new Lyrics \with {
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.basic-distance = 5
  } \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" { aah }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" { aah }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Cantus_One_Notes" { aah }
>>

Note that the spacing settings between two lines of lyrics are stored in the top one, so you should put the \with clause on the second line, not on the third.
