Hi Didi,

As far as I know, it's not possible for the line height to be
calculated correctly, because each character or group of characters is
a separate piece of markup.

In the future, we might consider switching more markup functionality
to Pango so that arbitrary text markup is processed line-by-line and
paragraph-by-paragraph.  This would solve the line-height issue you
are seeing.

But I don't know if/when this would ever happen.  It would require a
large overhaul of the markup infrastructure.

Would you like this to be a feature request instead?

Also, a workaround for this problem is to override 'baseline-skip.  I
modified your LY file to make the example more compact.  See the
attached files.

Thanks,
Patrick
