Re: Inserting a verical space, or an empty line, between two markups attached to a note.

Hi Torsten,

Thank you very much. This does help, or better, it neatly solves my problem. (I 
had never used, or even read about, "baseline-skip" so this is also a very 
useful contribution to my LilyPond education.)

In your PS you wrote that you don't know the original page layout. That is hard 
to believe, for by inserting your code into my file I do get the original page 
layout (I only slightly lowered the \vspace,  from #0.8 to #0.6 ) I included a 
picture of the original page layout in my reply to Andrew Bernard, 26-02-18.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
Robert
