There are given in PostScript units. With a scale 1, there are 72 units
in an inch, and 28.35 units in a centimeter. In a music line, the height
of a staff is 24 units.

The values are the x and y offsets from the note head (the lowest note
if it is a chord). Think also that the offset 0,0 of a PostScript
character may not the bottom left corner of its glyph.

Try this with a treble clef:

        "@-10,-3Foo"B           % centered over the node
        "@-10,18Foo"B           % above the staff
        "@-10,-27Foo"B          % below the staff

then, try to explain these stranges values :).

Best regards,
