Ok, then it's not a bug but a feature. In my opinion, it would make more sense to set "top-markup-spacing" to "0" by default instead of having some ghost value that moves the text further down. I have always done this with raise/lower when I needed it. As I said, I'm usually still using an old version of Lilypond and am not up to date with all the changes. The reason was/is the musicxml import, which was corrupted starting with some of the newer versions.
Thanks you for the tips!!!

top-margin is the spacing from the edge of the paper to the inside of
the margin. top-markup-spacing is the spacing from the margin to the
first markup/text on the page. (See also top-system-spacing.) As it
is, you are leaving some spacing variables set to default values which
could have changed between versions, resulting in different behavior.
You might want to utilize annotate-spacing as well, as it might help
visualize where spacing occurs.
