But extra-offset doesn't (or at least shouldn't) affect the spacing engine,
right?
extra-offset affects the position of grobs *relative to the staff containing
them*. When the Y position of a grob is increased, it either has no affect on
the location of the staff, or it lowers the staff due to required spacing from
the staff above. Since after-line-breaking is the bottom staff, a positive Y
extra-offset value should have no affect or lower the bottom staff, to be
consistent with positive Y extra-offset for every other grob on the staff, it
seems to me.
extra-offset doesn’t change the staff-staff spacing parameters, but it does
change the grob locations used in the staff-staff spacing calculations.
I think this is all consistent, but I could be wrong.
