I noticed your doc update for Distances and measurements, and it
looks really great!


I'm not sure about really great, but thanks anyway!


I have two suggestions to further improve this section:

1) The `pt' unit is actually 1/72.27 inch, which is the TeX point.

2) Staff-space can be used as a unit too in the \paper and \layout blocks:

\paper {
 top-margin = 5\staff-space
 bottom-margin = 10\staff-space
}


Actually it is just a place holder to get the docs into a
presentable state before 2.12, but even so
it should be correct - so thanks for your suggestions.
I'll fix it right away.


Thanks,
Patrick
