Re: Staff switch over page break spoils vertical spacing

When a staff-switch line goes over a page break, the first system in the next page is stretched and may cover the next system. In the example here, it nearly touches, but in a full score the top system is stretched beyond the bottom of the page.

In the wild, a system may stretch over the next system, like the attached picture.

That smells like https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6551 .

Admittedly, I'm embarrassed about this bug since it is a regression that I introduced. (Reverting the offending commit would be easy, but that commit fixed a bug too.) I know what needs to be done since I investigated two weeks ago, but unfortunately I likely won't have the time to actually prepare the patch in the coming week, sorry.

Working around it would not exactly be straightforward either; sorry about that too.

Best,

Jean
