Okay… thanks anyway.

\combine works for me:

%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19"
\language "english"

strut = \markup \transparent { Tj }

#(define-markup-command (mstrut layout props mkp)
   (markup?)
     (interpret-markup layout props
     (markup #:combine mkp strut)))

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

baselines = {
  \override TextScript.padding = #2.5
  c'4^\markup \mstrut "Du liebst mich nicht" c' c' c' c'1 \bar "||"
  e'16^\markup \mstrut "Der Zwerg" a' e' a' e' a' e' a' r2
  <e' a' c'>2^\markup \mstrut "An mein Herz" r
}

\score { \baselines }
%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS

Which makes me think… maybe there’s a way to make a global callback so that all 
markup is automatically mstrut-ted?
I would just have no idea how to do that…

Cheers,
Kieren.
