Probably, you want to adjust the minimumVerticalExtent in the Lyrics
context, not in the Staff context.
(Note that things have changed between version 2.0.x and 2.1.21 or
later. In the stable version, there was a Lyrics context that could
contain several LyricsVoice contexts and the property could be set
separately for each LyricsVoice. In the development version, the old
Lyrics context has been dropped and the old LyricsVoice context has
been renamed to Lyrics :-). )

Hi,
I'm trying to reduce the spacing between stanzas and having trouble. I've tried 2.0 and 2.1.24.
I've tried overriding #'extra-offset and that will move the stanzas together but will not recover the unusused space.
I've tried setting #'extra-Y-extent to negative values but this has no effect.
Help. I am engraving a work with a number of verses and want to keep the staves from getting too far apart.
Thanks
Steve
