Differing header position depending on tallest letter

Hello all,

I noticed that the title (and other header types) doesn’t get vertically positioned according to its baseline (which would make sense to me), but to its cap height or ascender height. So if there are several scores with titles with different maximum letter heights, the scores will begin at different vertical positions.
Compare the two examples below:


\version "2.19.47"

\book {
  \header {
    title = "Title"
  }
  {
    c'1
  }
}

\book {
  \header {
    % Due to the title having only a lowercase letter, everything gets positioned higher.
    title = "e"
  }
  {
    c'1
  }
}


Can this behaviour be changed?

Thanks,
Peter
