By the way, this is one reason why \strut is not such a great thing
in my opinion. I suppose that in LaTeX, {\strut abc} and {abc \strut}
(or whatever the exact syntax is) are equivalent. In LilyPond, they
can't be, since if you want \strut to factor into the skylines, its
placement will be visible in the shape of the skylines (and consequently
make a difference in the spacing).
