Re: vertical distance variables

Hi Urs,

Is the spacing alist really capable of taking millimetre values and interpreting them as such? I am surprised.

naively I expected this to have the title (one line) start 16 mm into
the page and the first system at 26mm.

  top-margin = 16\mm
  top-markup-spacing =
  #'((basic-distance . 0)
     (stretchability . 0))
  top-system-spacing =
  #`((basic-distance . ,#{ 10 \mm #})
     (stretchability . 0))

But while the title thing seems reasonably accurate the top of the first
system sits at 28.3 mm.
