With 1.2.17, you could actually set the spacing using
minVerticalAlign. Try the following example:
---------------------------------------
music = \notes \relative c{
\clef "bass";
g4 g g g
}
\score {
<
\context ChoirStaff = choir1 <
\context Staff ="cantus1" <
\music
>
\context Staff ="altus1" <
\music
>
\context Staff = "tenor1" <
\music
>
\context Staff = "bassus1" <
\music
>
>
\context ChoirStaff = choir2 <
\context Staff ="cantus2" <
\music
>
\context Staff ="altus2" <
\music
>
\context Staff = "tenor2" <
\music
>
\context Staff = "bassus2" <
\music
>
>
>
\paper{
\translator{\ScoreContext
minVerticalAlign = 50;}}
}
