Hi,

naively I expected this to have the title (one line) start 16 mm into
the page and the first system at 26mm.

  top-margin = 16\mm
  top-markup-spacing =
  #'((basic-distance . 0)
     (stretchability . 0))
  top-system-spacing =
  #`((basic-distance . ,#{ 10 \mm #})
     (stretchability . 0))

But while the title thing seems reasonably accurate the top of the first
system sits at 28.3 mm.

Am I missing something? 

Because you know there is the title markup first, try setting markup-system-spacing instead of top-system-spacing. top-system-spacing is only effective if there isn't a markup between the first system and the top-margin. Likewise, top-markup-spacing is only effective when there isn't a system between the first markup and the top-margin (such as when you end one piece and have a score title between it and the next one).

The attached diagram might be helpful for understanding vertical spacing variables.

HTH,
