Hi Christian (and Cornelius and Christof),
I couldn't get M-Tx to compile - however, I have managed to get your
suggestion working (or half working) in another way:
I copied musixlyr.tex into a local ~/texmf/tex/generic/musixtex directory,
and modified the section you mentioned (and running texhash and mktexlsr).
This had the affect of applying it to all of the music examples.

\def\setlyrstrut{% Stuetze anhand des aktuellen Fonts einrichten
\setbox0=\hbox{()}%
\setbox\lyrstrutbox=\hbox{\vrule height 1.3\ht0 depth 1.3\dp0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\setlyrstrut % initialisieren
(changed to 1.3 in two places)
Unfortunately, it only affected the position of the lyrics without affecting
the staves below - the result being a larger spacing between the lyrics, but
now overlapping with the following stave (or the following paragraph of
text).
I am guessing that the space required for lyrics needs to be known by the
system in an earlier pass, so it can calculate how much space it needs...
