Michael, You need to report the version of LilyPond that you are using, because lyrics are handled differently in different versions. Looking at your .ly file, I see a version of 2.12.3. Unfortunately, I can't help with lyric spacing on 2.12.3. Lyrics are handled differently in 2.12 and 2.13.5x. I'm only familiar with the new methods. Hopefully somebody else will be able to help you. I'm sorry, Carl ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Please read the section in the documentation on flexible vertical spacing variables (Notation Reference 4.4.1). There is an example there that shows how to center lyrics between staves.

Re: Lyrics - vertical alignments
I have read this - well most of this section before, but when I try it I still get the same results. Perhaps someone could help me out a little, please?

Normally
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #CENTER
}
should do the trick.
But the result does not appear centered in this case. I suspect it is
due to the fact that you have a voice with stems up in the lower staff
(Tenor) and no voice with stems down in the upper staff (Alto).
So in this case I would "simply" increase the minimum distance between
the Lyrics and the related Staff (upper staff).
\new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing
#'minimum-distance = #6
}
HTH.

Xavier
