I did solve it by using fake text generated with negative offset. The 
height is taken from fake instead of real text. Fake text size is set to 
20 and the real to 17. It allows to define gap of 6px between the lines.


// FAKE for setting the XY

XY = 440,[1.h]+[2.h]+[3.h]+[4.h]

  1 = TEXT
  1.fontSize = 20
  1.text.current = 1

  1.text.listNum.splitChar = |
  1.text.listNum = 0
  1.offset= -200,-200

  2 < .1
  2.text.listNum=1
  3 < .1
  3.text.listNum=2
  4 < .1
  4.text.listNum=3


// and here real text which appears

   10 = TEXT
   10.fontSize = 17
   10.text.current = 1

   10.text.listNum.splitChar = |
   10.text.listNum = 0

   10.offset=0,18
   20 < .10
   20.text.listNum=1
   20.offset=0,18+[10.h]+6
   30 < .10
   30.text.listNum=2
   30.offset=0,18+[10.h]+[20.h]+12
   40 < .10
   40.text.listNum=3
   40.offset=0,18+[10.h]+[20.h]+[30.h]+18
