Dear Bodo, It's a good idea to redefine the macro \lyrstrutbox. The problem is that you increase only the height and decrease the depth to 0. You can get a better result if you correct two things:
1) use this definition of \lyrstrutbox: %%\def\setlyrstrut{\setbox0=\hbox{()}% %%\setbox\lyrstrutbox=\hbox{\vrule height 1.3\ht0 depth 1.3\dp0 width 0pt}} 2) add the command \setlyrstrut after the main change of font: %%\twelverm\setlyrstrut It seems to me that with these corrections your score looks nice.
