Hi,
Should the following code work? Am I misunderstanding staff-staff-spacing.
Changing the numbers doesn't seem to change the spacing. (I haven't tried
it in any other version).
TIA,

Hi,
\addlyrics is equivalent to \new Lyrics .
Spacing between staff and lyrics is not controlled by
'staff-staff-spacing but by 'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing .
See "Spacing of non-staff lines" within the doc:
