Those options are a good starting point but you will find some other factors also affect the colliding of lyrics and chord symbols.

In the Notation Window Options - push the 'Opt' button:

1. The "Chord Font" and "Lyrics Font" entries by % will affect the spacing between staves

In the print options screen - push the 'Print' button:

1. "font size", which determines the size of the staves.

2. "Staves per page", which determines the space between staves in combination with "font size".

3. Note that the settings for 'Line Based' or 'Note based' also determine how far below the staff the lyric is positioned.

4. If you push the 'More' button you will find the settings for "Margins & Misc. Settings". Your dimension for Top and Bottom margins can also affect how many staves fit on the page, leaving sufficient room between staves so that no collision occurs.

Once you get it set up to your liking you will be able to reproduce the settings very quickly. I did print screens 'way back when' to remind myself. And believe me, it is even worse if you are a trombone player and want everything in bass cleff, mostly above the stave.
