I am trying to make a staff consisting only of lyrics separated by
bar lines.
I've made a Rhythmic Staff with number of lines set to 0, removed the
time-signature, used hideNotes on the notes the lyrics are
attached to, and
used hidden rests. The result is close to what I want, but I can't
seem to
get the lyrics centered vertically between the bar lines (that is,
right in
the center of the staff itself if it were visible). The best I can do,
fiddling with the numbers in minimum-Y-extent for the
VerticalAxisGroup, is
get them to barely overlap the lower portion of the space between
the bars.
Any suggestions? I've searched this forum and the documentation pretty
thoroughly. Thanks.

extra-offset is your friend. Add this to your code:
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'( 0.0 . 5.6)
I just changed the offset value from the following snippet from the
Lilypond Snippet Repository:
