Alas, no.  It is probably related to the very situation I'm working
with, namely at the edge of the page.

Here is some code to play with.

```
\paper {
  left-margin = 0
  right-margin = 0
  top-margin = 0
  bottom-margin = 0

  oddHeaderMarkup = ##f
  evenHeaderMarkup = ##f
  oddFooterMarkup = ##f
  evenFooterMarkup = ##f

  top-markup-spacing.basic-distance = 0
  top-markup-spacing.minimum-distance = 0
  top-markup-spacing.padding = 0
  top-markup-spacing.stretchability = 0

  top-system-spacing.basic-distance = 0
  top-system-spacing.minimum-distance = 0
  top-system-spacing.padding = 0
  top-system-spacing.stretchability = 0

  markup-system-spacing.basic-distance = 0
  markup-system-spacing.minimum-distance = 0
  markup-system-spacing.padding = 2.5
  markup-system-spacing.stretchability = 0

  ragged-bottom = ##t
  ragged-last-bottom = ##t

  indent = 1\cm
}

\markup \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . -2.5) \column {
  \vspace #0.55
  "foo"
}

{ f'4 }
```

I want the violin clef touch the top edge of the page.
