Thanks, I did look into this, and instead of a warning, I get no change.
See below for what I used.
\version "2.18.2"
notesA = {
c'
}
vOne = \lyricmode {
a
}
vTwo = \lyricmode {
b
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "mel" { \notesA }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \vOne }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \vTwo }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-5 . 40)
}
}
}
IX,
Josh
