Thanks a lot, it works really great for text. However, any vertical space 
inserted with vspace (which is defined similar to hspace:
#(define-markup-command (vspace layout props amount) (number?)
  "This produces a invisible object taking vertical space."
    (if (> amount 0)
        (ly:make-stencil "" (cons -1 1) (cons 0 amount))
        (ly:make-stencil "" (cons -1 1) (cons amount amount))))
in my package) does increase its size with the global staff size :-(

I'm now looking for a way to create vertical (and horizontal) space, which 
which does not change size with the global staff size, so that the contents 
of the title page always look the same.
Check the attached file and try to run it with global staff size 5 and 35. 
You'll see a tremendous difference in the spacing in the two cases...

Alternatively, is there any way to insert stretchable space inside a markup 
(in particular a bookTitleMarkup)?

Cheers,
Reinhold
