Hi Kieren,

thank you very much for the nice workaround!

Lilypond seems to calculate the "real" line height of the writing, not some 
kind of nominal text line height, so that a line with descenders is higher than a line 
without.

Yes, this is a constant thorn in my engraving side.
I *so* wish we could control line-leading instead of baseline-skip…

Thank you!  Should this be in the manual?  (Or is it, and I missed it?)

is there some tweak to line height calculation, or a way to add "phantom" 
maximum underlength letters?

In my main include file, I have the following definition:

     strut = \markup \transparent { Tj }

Then, in markups, I use

     \combine $text \strut

to guarantee a consistent height/spacing.

Great, thank you again!

Should some remark about this be added to <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/stanzas>? It might come as a surprise if a recommended solution does not work ‘beautifully’.

I suppose Ij might save even more space – but there is nothing like TeX's \llap or \rlap (i.e. boxes without width)?

Best regards
  Bernhard
