Hi Stephen,
first of all: please keep conversation on-list, except if privacy is
actually necessary.

anything.
I tried again adding score-system-spacing.basic-distance = 10\cm to
the \paper block and now its working. I suspect that I don't really
understand what a staff-space is and the values I used didn't result
in any change. Changing to centimeters did something.
Did ‘something’? Did it actually insert 10 cm of space?
Maybe try again without the \cm, but with a (ridiculously) large number
like 50 to see if it actually does anything. Staff-spaces, the distance
between two normal staff-lines, are the basic measuring unit in
LilyPond. This allows scaling everything along with the music.
Also note that I think there is a typo in the example given with the
update one key-value example shown as
*system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #8*. Shouldn't it be
*score-system-spacing.basic-distance = #8?*
system-system-spacing is a thing as well, and all those flexible
vertical spacing properties work basically the same, only with different
values.
HTH, Simon
