Some examples:
-) Single staff: Without the spacing settings, the first staff is 
uncomfortably close to the upper edge of the paper, the last staff is 
uncomfortably close to the footer. Even if there are only very few 
systems on per page (i.e. lots of stretching involved), the top and 
bottom margin do not stretch at all, which makes them look even more 
glued to the top/bottom.

-) Full orchestra score: All staves and groups are spaced equally 
(actually, not equally, some distances seem larger than others, but I 
fail to see any understandable reason), while in normal scores, the 
stretching within staff groups should be less than the space between 
staff groups.

-) If you create an organ score with 7 systems per page (not possible in 
the script, since it is vertically crowded and not really suitable for 
hand-writing notes into it), the space between the manual and the pedal 
will be larger than the space between two systems.


And all these do not even include pages with multiple scores and title 
markups between them...

Cheers,
Reinhold
