It works, and this is enough. ;-)

Terrible, ugly, imperformant, nearly unusable?:
I put the "hack" in an extra file to read in, if required, so in the
lilypond source file only lines like the following

    \with {
      verticalAlignmentChildCallback = #(futz-alignment-callback '(
        (11 . 16.5)
        (12 . 16)
        ...
      ))
    }

are necessary.

Unstable?:
I think, only if I DID everything else, it is possible to see, in which
lines changes of staffheight are good or not.
Or is there any other unstability?

So, if there isn't:
For what I wanted to do, this "hack" works excellent, and I won't be
able to create a hack like this by myself.

Thank You very much! :)
