In your example, you use a *pair* of two numbers to specify the vertical
positions because there is a dot in between the numbers:
(0 . 5)
This seems to make sense because you want to position _two_ staves
relative to each other. However, the syntax also makes sense with three
or more staves, which is why lilypond interprets the given argument as a
*list*. Therefore if you remove the dot and write the argument as a
*list* of two objects, like this:
(0 5)
then it works like a charm.
