I'd strongly recommend to upgrade and convert-ly to a newer stable or even
unstable version, where you could write (just the code which seems
relevant):
<<
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing = #'(
(basic-distance . 0)
(basic-distance . 0)
(stretchability . 0)
(padding . 0))
}
{
\lyricmode {
% \override LyricText.extra-offset = #'(0.0 . -1.90)
\override LyricText.font-size = #-1
"The"2 "extra"2 "space"2 "above"2 "these"2 "words."2
}
}
\new Staff \notes
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override System #'stencil = #box-grob-stencil
}
}
hope I understood what you're after
