Hello Helge,
First at all congratulations for your first score.
→ The no string for pitch warnings come from Lilypond not knowing you have an
Ukulele. Lilypond takes the Fretboard configurations for a chord from a table,
which by default has guitar chords. The error just says that there are notes
for which no strings exist to play them. Use
\include "predefined-ukulele-fretboards.ly"
To include the default set of Ukulele chords, or create your own table.
→ The only real way to do the sus thing would be changing the
chordNameFunction. It wouldn’t be particularly hard to change the current
implementation to take a Context Property to specify this text.
→ For the distance: If you place the Lyrics into a Lyrics context, you can
specify the padding to the related Staff (i.e. The staff that contains the
melody) and unrelated Staves. So you can do a
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #4
} \lyricsto "music" { \verseIII }
Note that for this to work you need to Name the Voice that contains the notes,
so that the lyrics can be aligned to them.
→ You should use -- for hyphens in lyrics to get proper hyphenation. Use __ to
get malisma lines.
Also your lyrics are distributed weirdly. I’ve modified your score a bit, but
I do not know how the last stanza ist supposed to be distributed.
Cheers,
Valentin
