Dear Phil, unfortunately not. I do not want to in increase the distance within a system, but the distance between systems. I attached an image by which you probably directly see my problem: bar 4 - 6 is set too close to bar 1 - 3. And bar 7 - 10 is set too close to bar 4 - 6. I am very sorry, that I do not know / use the correct English words to say what I mean. Even in German the respective words are used inconsistently and unsufficiently: staff = "a series of (normally five) horizontal lines upon and between which the musical notes are written" staves = "pl of staff" system = a) "collection of staves (staff) [...] used for writing down [...] orchestral music" b) "section of the score spanning the width of a single page" These are the definitions of the LilyPond glossary (lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/music-glossary-big-page.html) But I want to denote this: If my system ( meaning 'a' ) does not contain so many staves, that it spanns the width of a single page ( meaning 'b' ) , but more than only to fill one line, then my system is split into system parts (by a kind of line feed) which are printed on the page. So now I still have 2 questions: a) What's the correct Lilypond word for a line (of staves)? b) How do I increase the distance between the lines.
