Here's a file with all different spacings from 2.0 to 4.0...

Looking at some scores with two lyrics lines (mostly oratorios with two 
different language), I would tend to choose 2.8 or 3.0.


There are some other issues I notice with the layout:

1) For my taste the piece names are too close to the previous score (and too 
far away from the one they are attached to).

2) The distance between the last lyrics line to the next staff is not constant 
throughout the page! It seems largest at the top of the page and decreases 
towards the end of the  page. I don't think this has to do with the minimum-
distance, as also the distance of the lyrics to the staff above decreases, 
althouth not as much.

3) The distance between the last lyrics and the tagline is way too small...

Cheers,
Reinhold
