aligning markup with many notes

[Mark Dewey]

Hello,

I'm trying to make lyrics for the bass/tenor lines that 
follow different notes
than the soprano/alto lines in the chorus.

Anyway, I couldn't seem to figure out how to do this 
with addlyrics, properly,
given the time I had, so I tried text markup, using a 
separate markup for
each note (I didn't just use one markup, since it 
wouldn't align the words with
the notes).

This worked fine, after I learned of \fatText, except 
for one thing:
the markups had different vertical heights, due to the 
notes under them.
Is there a way to synchronize the heights to the height 
of the highest
markup?  I tried doing it manually, but it was just way 
too tedious and
time consuming (i.e. I could still notice a visible 
difference after getting to
\once \override TextScript #'padding = #1.037824).

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated, especially if 
there's a way to do
this with one markup, aligning them to individual 
notes, and if there's
a way to do it with addlyrics, without having to have 
conflicts with my
other lyrics.
