Hi Sharon,

I'd call it a bug, please report.

Here a smaller example:

\version "2.14.2" %% up to "2.19.38"

#(set-default-paper-size "a6")

\paper {
  annotate-spacing = ##t

  %% settings to ease comparability of pages:
  print-first-page-number = ##t
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \box \oddHeaderMarkup
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \box \evenHeaderMarkup
  bookTitleMarkup = \markup \fromproperty #'header:title

  %% #'-syntax to make it compile with v2.14
  top-markup-spacing #'basic-distance = 8
  top-markup-spacing #'minimum-distance = 8
  top-markup-spacing #'padding = 0 % negative padding to ignore skyline
  top-markup-spacing #'stretchability = 0 % fixed position
}

val = 5

%% header on first page
\header {
  title =
  \markup \box \line { "1 - Hey"  \with-color #red \draw-line #`(0 . ,val) }
}

\pageBreak

%% top-level markup on second page
\markup \box \line  { "2 - Hey"  \with-color #red \draw-line #`(0 . ,val) }


A possible workaround might be to topalign toplevel-markups:

#(define-markup-command (vup layout props arg)
  (markup?)
  (let* ((mol (interpret-markup layout props arg)))
    (ly:stencil-aligned-to mol Y UP)))

%% top-level markup on second page
\markup \vup \box \line  { "2 - Hey"  \with-color #red \draw-line #`(0 . ,val) }


Cheers,
  Harm
