Re: Vertical position of lyrics

[Fred Leason]

somewhere around this location in the documentation

lilypond-2.11.12-1.documentation/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal- 
ensembles.html#Vocal-ensembles

it illustrates that

\layout {
          \context {
             % a little smaller so lyrics
             % can be closer to the staff
             \Staff
             \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =  
#'(-3 . 3)
          }
       }

has something to do with the location of lyrics to the staff.  I  
suggest playing around with that.
