Han-Wen - What I proposed is to implement individual line spacing control with\breakSpace #n to force n staff spaces between lines, and \pageBreakSpace #n to force n staff spaces at the bottom of a page. Spacing following normal breaks or those forced with \break or \pageBreak would be calculated as now.
This presents a simple syntax to the user, and allows precise vertical spacing of individual lines or of an entire page if each line is followed by a \breakSpace or \pageBreakSpace.
What I am proposing is a more fine-grained control of the spacing engine. It would be possible to write syntactic sugar (eg. \breakSpace #XXX ) to make that mechanism more palatable to the casual user.
Usually, syntax sugar is the easy part of solving a problem. I propose that the hard parts of the problem be addressed first.
