Really? %%%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.19" \language "english" \paper { ragged-right = ##f } baselines = { \override TextScript.padding = #2.5 c'4^\markup { Du liebst mich nicht } c' c' c' c'1 \bar "||" e'16^\markup { Der Zwerg } a' e' a' e' a' e' a' r2 <e' a' c'>2^\markup { An mein Herz } r } \score { \baselines } %%%% SNIPPET ENDS Of course, you still have to manually deal with the [long-standing and long-irritating] fact that texts are not baseline-aligned, but bottom-aligned… but that’s easily done by adding a strut in each markup.
