Thanks for this information. I was able to use the \with solution you provided
in order to solve my problem.

However, now I have another question about lyric alignment when used in
combination with \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent. 
Increasing the size of the negative Y-extent pushes away the lyrics set below
the staff, while increasing the size of the positive Y-extent pushes away the
lyrics set above the staff. So in a piece with divisi lyrics set both above and
below a single staff, how does one avoid having them pushed away when using
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent to adjust staff vertical
spacing?  Is there an alternative way to adjust staff vertical spacing that will
not have this deleterious side effect? 

Thanks!
