Comment #6 on issue 1188 by perpeduumimmobile: Inconsistent line spacing in  
lyric mode

IIUC, minimum-distance is measured in staff-space units, so the "minimum  
line-height" specified it defines is not changed with different font-sizes.
IMHO, it's not The Real Thing (tm), but good enough for almost all common  
needs (postponed?).  At least it's not as bad as the need to manually scale  
staff-space /and/ font-size when resizing staves...

Besides, the bounding box not going over the theoretically maximal  
character height has it's benefits for fitting the Lyrics tight to the  
staff (very important for compressed French scores).  Note that Lyrics can  
be above or below the staff, so both directions matter.  Not sure whether  
Lyrics have real skylines, though, or just a simple rectangle per line.
