The key command in  \markuplist  (\markuplines in 2.14)  is
  \override-lines #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)

It is in the Notation Reference, NR A.10 Text markup list commands
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/text-markup-list-commands

%%%%

\version "2.15.20"

\markuplist {  % for 2.14: \markuplines {
  \override-lines #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
  \justified-lines {
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis id
    nulla quis elit faucibus iaculis.  Nulla mattis, leo eu tempus
    volutpat, mauris enim sagittis dui, ornare venenatis sapien urna
    vitae tortor.  Maecenas vestibulum rutrum pretium.  Nam eget eros
    risus.  Pellentesque accumsan libero et risus lacinia at placerat
    ante hendrerit.  Duis quis tortor lorem.  Quisque varius, ipsum vel
    feugiat aliquet, augue neque convallis orci, vel consectetur metus
    neque sed justo.  Praesent luctus laoreet enim sit amet facilisis.
  }
