-The vertical spacing engine has been drastically changed, making
-it more flexible and easier to control.
-The spacing between staves within a system can now change
-to better use the space on the page.
-User-defined contexts may participate in this flexible spacing,
-depending on how their @code{staff-affinity} is defined.
-Some page formatting variables (@code{page-top-space},
-@code{between-system-space -padding}, and
-@code{before- between- after-title-space}) have been replaced
-by flexible vertical dimensions.
