Hi Ben,
Are you looking for something more sophisticated the brute force approach
discussed in the Lilypond manual:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning>
I don’t know a better way to reduce the amount of space between staves. There
are some hacks for increasing space (e.g. placing transparent objects far
enough below the staff).
Best,
Edward
\version "2.19.81"
\new PianoStaff
\with {
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #20
}
<<
\new Staff = "RH" \relative c' { \repeat unfold 3 { c1 d e f }
\break
\overrideProperty
Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details
#'((alignment-distances . (10)))
\repeat unfold 7 { c1 d e f }}
\new Dynamics = "dyn" { s1\p\< s1*6 s1\f }
\new Staff = "LH" \relative c { \repeat unfold 3 { c1 d e f }
\repeat unfold 7 { c1 d e f } } >>
