Suppose a particular page has a couple of systems that need extra
vertical space. You evenly space the systems, leaving a gap at the
bottom. Then you add the extra space for the couple of systems. Then
you respace them with the "Take existing gaps into account" option
checked, leaving a minimal margin. For laying out single-staff parts,
it is simply fantastic.
I do this by changing the bottom margin of the system itself. Works for
me, I actually find this much quicker than using JWSS. YMMV
I agree, for scores and multi-staff parts, that some way to
automatically spread out staves within a system would be useful. That
is not JW Space Systems, however. There are some tools (Finale's
Respace Staves and TGTools has something as well), but nothing that
is nearly as automatic as one might wish.
Ideally this could be done in one Space Systems and Staves plugin. Hint,
hint.
