### 11.6 Displaying spacing

To graphically display the dimensions of vertical properties that may be altered for page formatting, set `annotate-spacing` in the `\paper` block, like this

    #(set-default-paper-size "a6" 'landscape)

    \book {
      \score { { c4 } }
      \paper { annotate-spacing = ##t }
    }

Some unit dimensions are measured in staff spaces, while others are measured in millimeters. The pairs (a,b) are intervals, where a is the lower edge and b the upper edge of the interval.
