Hi, Trevor:

Anyone have something handy to make the markup in this example
*bottom-align* (instead of top-aligning)?

"NORM has ascenders, but "norm" doesn't.
Therefore, you need to add an invisible ascender letter (e.g., capital) to force it to have the same vertical extent as the other one.

%%% BEGIN TOP-ALIGNED MARKUP SNIPPET %%%
\version "2.9.15"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
\new Staff {
  \time 2/4
  \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #4
  c'1_\markup { "NORM" }
  c'1_\markup { "norm" \transparent "T" }
}
%%% END TOP-ALIGNED MARKUP SNIPPET %%%

The baseline/text handling in Lilypond is definitely amongst my pet peeves... =)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
