Are you sure?  Looks to me that middleCPosition should be
#5.  Anyway, you can try the following code.  The value for
padding is arbitrary, it just has to be negative enough to
not ever be used.  By the way, I'm currently preparing a
patch to improve the documentation relevant to this topic
(vertical spacing inside a system).  Soon to be posted...
