vertical spacing on second page

[Curt]

Hi, am I misunderstanding how vertical spacing works?  I am not sure how to make the second page of a score respect these \paper variables.  The second page has everything close to the top for me.  I am referring specifically to top-markup-spacing and markup-system-spacing.

Thanks!

\version "2.16.0"

\include "english.ly"

\paper {

ragged-bottom = ##t

ragged-last-bottom = ##t

markup-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #18

top-markup-spacing #'basic-distance = #6

max-systems-per-page = #1

}

\header {

  instrument = "Harp"

}

\new Staff \relative c' {

a b c d | a b c d | a b c d | a b c d |

\break

a b c d | a b c d | a b c d | a b c d |

}
