Still, text lines and musical systems are different wrt staff extents,  
the
arithmetic cannot be the same. In the case of a text line, the staff  
extent
is always flat, you always have to deal with its extent. However, in  
the case
of a music system, the staff extent maybe flat (in the case of a  
single line
system), but you will probably want to use the staff extent anyway to  
compute
the ideal distance.
