Ehm, now also with the second image.

Hi,
I nearly went nuts trying to figure out what I did wrong with
converting staffsize to staffspace to mm to points to bigpoints and
not getting anywhere with my score.
I want to have a score start with a defined position of the first
staff symbol to match the type area of a surrounding text document.
For this I thought to set the margin to zero and calculate the value
for the actual margin in points. Then I'd set top-system-spacing to
that value (plus 2 to shift from the middle to the top staffline).
%%%
\version "2.19"
\header {
copyright = ""
tagline = ##f
}
\paper{
indent = 0
print-page-number = ##f
top-margin = 0\pt
top-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 16)
(minimum-distance . 0)
(padding . 0)
(stretchability . 0))
annotate-spacing = ##t
}
{
\repeat unfold 50 { c' d' e' d' }
}
%%%
Now I've finally found out my calculations are actually correct, as
can be seen from the annotated output in top-margin.png.
However, when I change the repeat to 150 LilyPond compresses the
output pretty much, which is still nice as an engraving but also moves
the first system up (see top-margin-compressed.png). You can see that
the distance of "16" is still in place, but it doesn't point to the
middle staffline anymore.
I assume that it's not the reference point that has changed but the
system has been offset vertically from that reference point.
What is the correct way to force the first system to be at an absolute
position on the staff, i.e. in the example the center line exactly 16
staff spaces below the page border?
Thanks
Urs
