Hi,

I have a diagnosis (but not a cure):

My thesis is double-spaced and (in 1997) this used to also double-space the
lyrics.  The resulting vertical spacing gave a nice layout.

But now the lyrics aren't affected by the double spacing - probably because
of a LaTeX upgrade we had in 2000. I read that vertical spacing was affected
by some LaTeX upgrades.

Here's the command I used to double space:
   \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.4}

(cut)

Here is a guess: I remember (from a contribution to the TUGboat ages ago) that LaTeX will reevaluate \baselinestretch only at a font size change. If there is none before entering your M-Tx file, \baselinestretch wont work.

The fix proposed in the TUGboat article was to write something like
        \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.4\small\normalsize} ,
thereby forcing LaTeX to evaluate \baselinestretch .

You might want to play with that idea.
