Re: baseline-skip: how to change default and possibly alter default value in LilyPond.

[Mats Bengtsson]

You can set this property just like any other property.
For example, to change the setting for all text scripts in all scores
in the current file, it should work to add
\layout{
 \context{
   \Score
   \override TextScript #'baseline-skip = #2.5
 }
}
at the top level of your file. I'm not sure how the mechanism works that
connects this object property to the paper variable with the same name.
