Dev Team,
I was wondering if you have any insight concerning the possibility
of/complications with changing the default Y-offset of LyricText to
be aligned on vertical center of the font's x-height. The Dynamics
characters do something similar already (roughly aligned on the vertical
center of Emmentaler's "m" glyph[1]), so why not lyrics? Seems like this
would bring a visual improvement over the current Y-offset of zero (i.e.,
the font's baseline).

I guess this might only be helpful when you want the lyrics to be
vertically centered between two staves (like in a hymnal)
Why would anybody want that? The lyrics should be placed between the
skylines of the neighbouring lines, and I don’t see the point of any
exact v-centering.
If anything, Y-offset would be relevant for alignment with other items
on or next to the lyrics line. I don’t know how alignment with
LyricHyphen and LyricExtender is currently handled, and how that would
play with your suggestion; the only other item I can think of now is
StanzaNumber – which should of course normally have the same baseline as
the LyricText.
Yours, Simon
