Lyric vertical spacing
You might try the brute-force method:
\paper {
page-count = #1
% system-count = #4
}
I often use page-count (and \break at appropriate places) to save myself
many trials.
If this does not solve the problem there are lots of other settings in
the paper block to experiment with.

Lyric vertical spacing
Greetings,
You wrote:-

Is there a way to control the vertical spacing between the lines of the
lyrics?
I want to reduce the spacing slightly between the lines to see if I can
get a
piece to fit on one page. I tried playing with these but to no avail.
\override Score.LyricSpace #'padding = #0
\override Score.LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0
++
The following might help...

Really? The following example shows the difference you can
obtain:
\version "2.10.0"
% Default layout:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = m \relative c'{ c4 d e f g f e d c1 }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m {aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa }
>>
}
% Reducing the minimum space below the Staff and above the Lyrics:
\score{
<<
\new Staff \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1
. 4)}
\new Voice = m \relative c'{ c4 d e f g f e d c1 }
\new Lyrics \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =
#'(-1.2 . 1)}
\lyricsto m {aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa }
>>
}

Re: lyric vertical spacing
Hi, David:
I went there per your suggestion and tried tweaking the minimum-y-
extent
but I was unable to make it any better. I eventually tried
#'extra-offset on the lyrics. This solved half of the problem. I was
able to move them close enough to the staff for my purposes but, of
course, it did *not* change the spacing of the systems above and below
the lyrics.
Worst case, you can move each and every staff manually.
Define
staffAdjust =
#(define-music-function (parser location adj) (pair?)
#{
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details $adj
#})
and then, in your music, use
\staffAdjust #'((alignment-offsets . (0 -8.5 -15 -25.5 -30.5 -37
-45.5 -52 -64)))
This is just an example from my own choral composition -- the nine
"staves" to which the numbers correspond are
soprano
soprano lyrics
alto
alto lyrics
tenor
tenor lyrics
bass
bass lyrics
piano reduction (two staves together in a PianoStaff)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: lyric vertical spacing
I went looking in the mail archive to see if I could find an answer to my question as I had not heard from anybody, only to discover that Mats had responded. For some reason it did not find its way to my in-box. > Which LilyPond version?

Re: lyric vertical spacing
Which LilyPond version? The vertical spacing handling has changed significantly in the latest development version 2.11, compared to earlier versions. You should be able to find several examples in the mailing list archives. The basic ideas are described in the section on "Vertical spacing inside a system". /Mats David Bobroff wrote: I want to move some lyrics much closer to the staff.
