My best proposal is to typeset the ChordNames below the
lyrics. When there is lyrics, you move the ChordNames up
and the lyrics down (I would have used the extra-offset
property, but it seems that you have found another option).
I found another option, yes, but it did not work (Y-offset that is)
But thanks for steering me in the right direction,
it seems changing Y-offset also affects surrounding grobs, while extra-offset just moves the one affected.
(Looking again in the reference, the extra-offset seems obvious now: "This offset is added just before outputting the symbol, so the typesetting engine is completely oblivious to it. "
but that Y-offset affects surrounding grobs is not obvious from the reference (for me at least) "The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent")
I now solved it by typesetting the ChordNames below the lyrics, and
tweak the chord with
\once \override ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 10)
and tweaking each of the lyric verses with
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -4)
and after that I get the output I want (see attachment)
regards,
Simon
