Brief: top-margin, bottom-margin, head-separation, and foot-separation display (in the pdf output) larger than requested in the \paper block. _______________________
Verbose: In the test file below, I've set both paper-width and paper-height to 100mm, and manually entered the default values for top-margin (5mm), bottom-margin (6mm), head-separation (4mm), page-top-space (12mm), and foot-separation (4mm). I printed the resulting pdf file (centered and with NO page-scaling) and measured some distances (as indicated by the annotate-spacing arrows) with a ruler. Here's what I found: paper-height = 100m (correct) page-top-space = 12mm (correct) top-margin = about 9mm bottom-margin = about 10.5mm head-separation = about 7mm foot-separation = about 9mm That is, paper-height and page-top-space are correct. Side note #1: annotate-spacing confusingly displays these two values in staff-space units instead of millimeters. Maybe there's a good reason, but the confusing output should be clarified, I think. Anyway, the outputs of the remaining four values (top- and bottom-margin, head- and foot-separation) are all consistently too large by a factor of about 1.775 or so. Side note #2: On my way here, I think I passed by some horizontal-margin spacing bugs, too, but I'll have to catalog those later. Hope this helps, and THANK YOU!
