what's the concept of "ugly" in a tex source?
Simply the need for my calculating the half of the distance between
systems before I know this distance! IMO trial-and-error is even
uglier!
That's what I was referring to! A hairy \output routine would break \box255 up
and find the \skip's but analysing the \output of \vsplit is not fun.
But TeX hacking to one side, I'm still not entirely clear what you're after
in layout terms - doesn't MusiXTeX already insert a *known* amount of space
between systems already (\staffbotmarg and \stafftopmarg - the computed
value \systemheight may be useful in calculations too)?
\staffbotmarg and \stafftopmarg need an argument (cm, in, \Interligne or
other). Like \vskip, they won't calculate this argument for me!
AFAIK MusiXTeX puts between systems the space it thinks is clever. If a system
has a high, high symbol it adapts these spaces. Replace a \qa somewhere in the
middle of my example with \qa{hce''z} and you will see what I mean.
