Re: Distance between top margin and title text in 25.2.+

Ok, then it's not a bug but a feature. In my opinion, it would make more sense to set "top-markup-spacing" to "0" by default instead of having some ghost value that moves the text further down. I have always done this with raise/lower when I needed it. As I said, I'm usually still using an old version of Lilypond and am not up to date with all the changes. The reason was/is the musicxml import, which was corrupted starting with some of the newer versions. 

Thanks you for the tips!!!
