Hi Carl, > I assume it is because the negative offset reduces the skyline of the broken (following) system, which allows the spacing engine to raise that system. 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. Carl
