Let me put it bluntly: the new scheme cements the decision to make
markups and titles have the same spacing.
A score followed by a title needs a solid amount of spacing and is an
excellent position for a page break.
A score followed by an editorial note "* this may be f# instead" needs a
small amount of spacing and is an awfully bad position for a page break.
If those cases are treated the same, it is a bug. We are now
transplanting this bug from the code into the user interface where it
will be rather cemented.
I don't think that this is a sensible change for 2.14.
