For your layout block, try (as one possibility): \layout { \context { \Lyrics \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 5)) } } The relevant section in the Notation Reference is http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines Hope this helps!
