changing Style → General... → Page → Musik top margin doesn't seem to have any effect.
Unless something just changed last night, I think you'll find it *does* take effect - but only literally at the top of the the page, not between the music and a frame that might happen to be above it. For 1.3 this parameter served double-duty as a way of controlling space between vertical frames and the music. Now it does not; to alter the distance between vertical frames and the music, you use the vertical frame bottom margin setting. That setting existed in 1.3 also; it's just that the space below vertical frames used to be affected by *both* settings. Now they are independent. Music top margin for the space between music and top of page, vertical frame bottom margin for space between music and vertical frame.
I am not sure if this was deliberate, but it does seem an improvement to me, actually.

I don't see my music moving up or down the pages when I change that parameter, not on pages with a top vertical frame and not on pages without

Ah, well, as I said, I didn't have last night's changes.
My build just finished, and indeed, this seems to have broken. I see there were some changes to the style code.

Have you actually tried it out, Marc? Perhaps you should have done so before responding. The value cannot be changed, and I don't know how that could be stated any more clearly. This doesn't concern frames or any behavior in the Beta versus 1.3.

As I stated, I *did* try it out - just with a build a few hours older. It only broke earlier today. I simply thought you were confused by the change in behavior from 1.3 as someone else had been a few weeks ago.
EDIT: actually, my branch was a few days old; the change that broke this was a few days ago, it seems.
Anyhow, I have found the typo that broke this, will make fix. Thanks for reporting!

Actually, I see something different from what is described - "value cannot be changed". I have no problems whatsoever changing the value in the dialog; they just don't take effect, and aren't remembered on the next involcation of the dialog.
In reply to Actually, I see something by Marc Sabatella
Yes, I can change it, but don't see any effect. Haven't checked whether it gets saved or not.
So it is possible to change that value, but it is not possible to change the Music top margin with it.
Here is the fix: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/1699
Just waiting for Travis to say it's OK to merge.
