Well, here's another one:

I suppose it's because the spacing in 2.12 only relied on the Y-extent 
property, which defaults to a value including usual extenders of the glyphs?
However, in terms of space efficiency it's debatable whether extenders 
should be ignored or not.  In case you have more than two consecutive 
lines of lyrics, I guess you want the spacing to be even, which needs 
manual tweaking for now.
