[JW Lua] FCStaffSystem:CalcHeight() and Vertical Resizing

[Jan Angermüller]

There was an old thread by Bart from Dec. 2014 about "vertical resizing" 
in FCStaffSystem:CalcHeight().
I now had a similar problem and needed to figure out the relation 
between CalcHeight(false) and CalcHeight(true).
It seems to be this one:

CalcHeight(true) = 
(CalcHeight(false)-TopMargin)*ResultingSystemScaling+TopMargin

Code snippet for a document with 85% resulting scaling:
local staffsystemslookup=finale.FCStaffSystemsLookup ()
local staffsystems = staffsystemslookup:GetCurrentPartStaffSystems ()
local ResultingSystemScaling=0.854166 --taken from FCPageFormatPrefs
staffsystem=staffsystems:FindMeasureNumber(12)
print(staffsystem:CalcHeight(true).."="..(staffsystem:CalcHeight(false)-staffsystem.TopMargin)*ResultingSystemScaling+staffsystem.TopMargin)

But I have no idea what this relation means practically.
Why should I take out TopMargin from scaling while BottomMargin is scaled?
Anyone?

Best,
Jan
