Abraham, I'll try to explain why setting baseline-skip to 0 is a bad idea here. Take a look at the attachment. This is what is happening if you set baseline-skip to 0.

 

In case of some other fonts difference between 'a' and 'b' is more noticeable.

So we need to have baseline skip set to 2 to have perfectly even spacing.

Thanks for the explanation. It still seems like a _very_ small difference to me, but if you can see it, then that's fine. How about this:

#(define

  (customTimeSignature grob)

  (let*

    ((fraction

        (ly:grob-property grob 'fraction))

      (num

        (car fraction))

      (denom

        (cdr fraction))

      (stil (grob-interpret-markup grob #{

        \markup {

          \translate #'(0 . 0.03) 

          \override #'(font-name . "Times") 

          \abs-fontsize #15 

          \override #'(baseline-skip . 2) 

          \center-column {

            \line {

              #(number->string num)

            }

            \line {

              #(number->string denom)

            }

          }

        }

      #}))

      (sz (magstep (ly:grob-property grob 'font-size 0.0))))

    (ly:stencil-scale stil sz sz)))

which gives me (at fontSize = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3):

Just setting baseline-skip to 0 and this look virtually identical to me, but maybe this works better for you.
