vspace with non-integer argument does not work

[Olivier Biot]

Hi all,

Is it possible to specify non-integer values for vertical spacing with vspace? I read once that it was possible, but apparently not (anymore) in version 2.16.0 or 2.16.1.

The following does compile without errors but the non-integer values are apparently silently transformed into "1":

% BEGIN
\version "2.16.1"
\markup {
  \center-column {
    This
    is
    a
    \vspace #1
    \bold {test}
    \vspace #2
    And
    \vspace #2/300
    this
    \vspace #.01

    too.
    \vspace #3
    \line {\italic {I think.}}
  }
}
% END

Best regards,

Olivier
