No, a TeX strut is a zero-width box which has 0.7 times baselineskip as height and 0.3 times baselineskip as depth. Those measures are supposed to be larger than the largest depth and height in a font, and the resulting boxes are intended to be stacked _without_ _any_ interline glue, in contexts where TeX's interline spacing mechanism is not operative. I don't think that copying TeX's struts would make sense here. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
