Thanks!

Carl: I have recently compiled 2.13.8. And that is what I used to  
compile the music page I used in this example.  Do you recommend me  
to download the latest git and recompile?

What exactly is causing this behaviour...if I may ask?

Thanks all for your help...

What version of LilyPond are you using?  This looks like a bug that  
showed
up in 2.13.x (I don't remember exactly which version) and has been  
corrected

in 2.13.8 (which has not yet been released.

If you use 2.12, I don't think that you will have this problem.

I'm assuming that you're using 2.13? This problem has apparently been  
addressed and fixed for the next release.

Dear fellows: I need to learn some fundamental inner working of the

the following construct in a single page:

 \layout {
  \context{
  \Lyrics
  \override LyricText #'font-size = #-1
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( 0 . 0 )
  }
  \context{  \ChordNames
  \override ChordName #'(baseline-skip . 2)
  %\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( -1 . 3 )
  }
It has been proved wrong, since the resulting symbols are not in  
the same fixed distance from the staff lines. So what can I do to  
control their position efectively in respect of the staff itself  
across all systems?
If you may, please have a look at the attached image: 1st system is  
ok, whereas the next ones change continually over the rest of the  
song, showing different separations between the symbols and the top  
line of each staff.


Perhaps its some sort of collission control in effect  here? I  
would need to set a fixed height for all chord symbols, then I  
would need to prevent collisions, but i guess that last part is  
taken care of automatically... or not?


Thanks a lot for your kind help.

It's definitely possible, you can try asking about for help on the 
lilypond-user list if you can't find answers in the manual.
