Distance Lyrics<->Staff underneath

Dorico
1

Hello, I remember this coming up in the very early development of Dorico. Is there a global setting where I can get the staff with the lyrics further away from the stave below? A setting for vertical distance below bottom line of lyrics. Any advice or workaround very welcome:

Try Library->Engraving Options->Lyrics->Vertical Position.

Thanks.

Engraving Options only covers the distance of the lyric line itself. There’s no way of making staves with lyrics have additional space to the staff below than other staves of the same type.

You might be able to do something with the Vertical Spacing settings in Layout Options. Perhaps increasing the “Minimum inter-staff gap” setting, which is the distance between “low-hanging fruit” on one staff and the items on the staff below it.

Hi @k_b, here the visualisation of the suggestion by @benwiggy, increasing slightly the Minimum inter-staff gap with content in the Collision Avoidance section of Vertical Spacing:

Bingo! Christian, dat was it.
Thank you! I have not seen this setting before, and moving it from 1 to 2 Spaces had the desired effect.
