According to NR 4.1.4 <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables#structure-of-flexible-vertical-spacing-alists>, the reference point of top-level markups is indeed their highest point, not the baseline (as opposed to, e.g., Lyrics lines). > So if there are several scores with titles with different maximum letter > heights, the scores will begin at different vertical positions. Yes, unfortunately. If you want consistent spacing (assuming that you don't put anything fancy in your titles, such as graphics or multi-line stuff, and that you use a font with sane glyph heights), you should be fine with an additional \strut in the title (see <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/other#index-_005cstrut-1>). title = \markup \concat { \strut "Title" } title = \markup \concat { \strut "e" } You could also adjust bookTitleMarkup or scoreTitleMarkup (see NR 3.2.2 <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footers#custom-layout-for-titles> and /usr/share/lilypond/*/ly/titling-init.ly or the equivalent on your system for the default) to take that into account; e.g., change the line \fromproperty #'header:title to \concat { \strut \fromproperty #'header:title } in the definition of bookTitleMarkup.
