Abraham,
Here's the file. It's not a tiny example, I'm afraid.

Subject: Re: Staff Spacing
Chris,
Can you post your code or attach a file so we can see what you've tried?
You can be explicit about the vertical location of the staves, but I
imagine that's not what you want to do.

I have an SATB score with interludes between verses. I've built the score
in a choir staff group with 4 staves for each vocal range and a 5th staff
for the interlude. I'm hiding empty staves for the parts that are not
singing. For example, one part is sopranos and altos so the tenor and bass
parts are hidden during that verse.
The musical interlude staff is built with rests in all verses so only the
music that is played during the interlude shows.
I'm trying to reduce the spacing between the staves in the interlude
sections but nothing seems to be working. See the attached screenshot.
The interlude staff is the last staff in the system. I'm using
staff-staff-spacing to reduce the spacing of the SATB parts. I've tried
the system-system-spacing in the \paper block setting the basic-distance to
8.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
