As this was posted, I happened to be researching just this topic.
I'm trying to use the below scheme-markup function, kLineSpacingTest, to
create individual markup lines that COULD be placed inside a column, or just
be used by themselves. The musical notes a1 and aes1, below, are the
potential usages I'm looking for.
Unfortunately, the line spacing when placed in a column (as in a1) is as if
the font is--I believe--the default size. This is despite every line having a
"#:fontsize -3". Hence, way too much space.
Here's an image of the rendered sheet:

The spacing for both a1 and d1 are exactly the same--too far apart. The
others (aes1, b1, and c1) all have different spacing, which surprises me, as
the font-sizes are all -3. I like b1 best, but any of these three are better
than a1 and d1.
So the question is: If every line in a column has the same spacing, why
should the column itself impose a larger-than-necessary line-height? Is there
a way to override this behavior WITHOUT needing the redundant fontsize
setting between \markup and \column? Can you absolutely define markup line-
height regardless of fontsize, and potential collisions?
Thank you for any advice.
