At the moment I can set --lyric-top-min-margin to achieve a gap at the start of the first lyrics line. For songs with multiple verses i would like to create more space between the verses. See here for example:

There is ©lineheight on syl nodes in MEI but I think thats not the right place to control the genereal layout. Musescore for example does only export MEI5.0+basic and does not encode stylistic properties.

A new option --lyric-line-height or such could be introduced.

A similar feature request is to be able to control the line height for <f> within <fb>:

Adjusting the default <f> line spacing would be useful since the above spacing is too high. Perhaps here some assumed plain text height is being used, but I am using SMUFL figures (needed for slash characters).

Here is a target rendering:

Size control of <f> in a similar manner to <syl> would also be useful, similar to the --lyric-size option. 😉
