Hi Tom,
well, it was non-existent there, at least with the versions I could
check quickly (2.14.2 and 2.17.96). Some thoughts:
For 2.16, it's probably okay to use
\override LyricHyphen #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 1)
At least it works in 2.14... This essentially pretends that all the
space covered by hyphens has some vertical padding around it.
I think skyline computation (and, maybe, how slurs interact with other
objects) changed somewhere in the 2.17 development cycle, that's why the
issue doesn't occur in the newest development version at all.
More general, in your piece the text "belongs" to all voices. But if you
add it like you do in your template, it will be associated to the upper
staff, and thus be positioned more closely to that one. It is formally
more correct to add your Lyrics with
\new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity =
#CENTER } \lyricsto "sopranos" ...
although that alone probably doesn't help here.
You can also have a look at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines
to resolve issues like that, but that doesn't really solve the problem
that hyphens seem not to be considered for spacing in 2.16. Again, I
can't check. If you set staff-affinity to #CENTER, the property you need
to tweak is nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.
Best,
Alexander
