The reference point of lyrics is the baseline and this is the cause of
the problem - #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'basic-distance
appropriate for lyrics below staff is not appropriate for lyrics above
staff. Consider the following (and look at the attachment):
\version "2.13.45"
\paper { system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20 ragged-right = ##t }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Lyrics = abovelyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'staff-affinity = #DOWN }
{ s1 }
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "empty" { r4 r r r \break } \new Voice =
"firstPart" { f' f' f' f' } \new Voice = "secondPart" { e'' e'' e''
e'' }
}
\new Lyrics = "belowlyrics" { s1 }
\context Lyrics = abovelyrics \lyricsto firstPart \lyricmode { ma
-- ma ma -- ma }
\context Lyrics = belowlyrics \lyricsto secondPart \lyricmode { mo
mo -- mo mo }
>>
\layout {
\context {
% \Lyrics \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'basic-distance = #4
}
}
}
You can see how this changes by uncommenting the
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing override.
The strange thing is that all this somehow doesn't affect first system.
cheers,
