As has been mentioned before, the vertical distance between two lyrics
baselines is just the height + depth of the characters '()' of the font
that was in effect when \setlyrstrut was called most recently. I would be
very surprised if any of LaTeX's vertical line spacing parameters were
able to affect this, and would be very interested to see an example.

The straightforward way is indeed to somehow redefine the "lyrics strut".
I'd recommend this form (height and depth are just examples):
\setbox\lyrstrutbox=\hbox{\vrule height 2em depth .3em width 0pt}
Once in this thread it was said that importing multiple M-Tx-created .tex
files into a single LaTeX master file would annihilate the global effect
of such a definition by repeatedly resetting it to its standard value. I
don't believe that: Inputting musixlyr.tex more than once has no further
effect, and it won't redefine or reset anything. Thus, inserting the
\lyrstrutbox redefinition into your LaTeX master file somewhere between
calling \mtxlatex and \begin{document} should have a global effect. (If
this is wrong, please send me an example!).
Best regards,
Rainer
