I still maintain that tiny examples help finding the relevant parts - the 2
lines I quote above are part of a \column (in fact the 1st column you write
in your example) so I'd guess the \override #'(baseline-skip . 4) just after
the \rounded-box would apply.

Hi Eluze,

I would really love to be able to make smaller examples but in this case my LilyPond knowledge does not allow me to make the proper judgment call on what to leave and what not. I tried to recreate a snippet with line-wrapped text appearing in 3 columns, sandwiched between lines with text. So far I haven't found any documentation explaining the intricate differences between \line, \fill-line, \column, \box etc that would allow me to reduce my problem to a meaningful small snippet.

It would be extremely helpful if there were something in the documentation about what I would call the "box model", similar to how it is available in XHTML and CSS. And that would also include documentation on the obscure connection between for instance \vspace and baseline-skip (as apparently sometimes one or the other or sometimes both work on a given object).

Best regards, and thanks again a lot for your patience and support in trying to help me with this problem.
