Hi Urs,

Is there a way to force text elements to a common *baseline* (as long as 
collision avoidance doesn't force them farther away from the staff?
This is a long-standing irritation of mine, with respect to Lily’s text/markup 
handling…

The only hack I’ve found so far is to force a common height, either with a 
strut or a transparent combination which has both [maximum] ascenders and 
[maximum] descenders:

{
  \override TextScript.outside-staff-padding = 2
  g' _\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" "g" ^\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" 
"q"
  g' _\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" "b" ^\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" 
"b"
}

First I found that very nice, but then I realized that the padding isn't against the StaffSymbol but against the next object in general, so I'm afraid the outside-staff-padding doesn't work at all:

\version "2.19.82"

{
 \override TextScript.outside-staff-padding = 2
 \once \stemUp
 c''2 _\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" "g" ^\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" 
"q"
 g' _\p _\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" "b" ^\markup \combine \transparent "Tj" 
"b"
}

The first upper letter is pushed outside by the stem, the second lower letter by the dynamics.

Urs

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
