Re: Vertical spacing of lyrics

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hello Lothar, 
You didn't say the version you're using, but by your example it is too old 
to even compile in the latest version (2.8.0). Well, after I removed \notes, 
it did. My first advice is to upgrade you version. 
Addressing your need, I think the easiest way is just remove 
 \lyricsto "one" \new Lyrics {  Lu lu lu lu  } 

And add these words to the first lyricsto: 
 La la la la Lu lu lu lu 

As to the vertical spacing between lines of lyrics, I'll give you a hint. 
See in the manual the SATB template, a line that ends with "extent". 

Good luck!
