I have consulted section "5.5.1 Vertical spacing inside a system" in
the manual for Lilypond 2.11.
I am preparing to print orchestral part. A typical part fills
approximately 1.6 to 1.75 pages. I want to increase the vertical
spacing to fill out two pages evenly.
I attempted to use the code provided in the manual:
\new Score \with
{
\override VerticalAlignment #'max-stretch =
#ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch
}
I could not get this code to work or change the vertical spacing of the
staves in any way.
(1) I don't understand \new Score. I always use \score. Are they
different? How so?
(2) I don't understand \with { some Lilypond code }. I typically insert
overrides in the music or in contexts (see below).
(3) I don't understand #ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch.
I do read the manual (but can miss things). I have read 6.1.4 without
comprehension.
I do search the archives (but can miss things).
I am stymied.
Much obliged for any help.

Here's my code for the part. \tuba has 173 measures of music.
\score {
\new Staff << \keepWithTag #'part \tuba >>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override BarNumber #'padding = #'2.3
\override BarNumber #'direction = #DOWN
\override BarNumber #'font-size = #2
\override BarNumber #'break-visibility
= #end-of-line-invisible
} % closes context
\context {
\Staff
\override TimeSignature #'style =
#'numbered
} % closes context
} % closes layout
} % closes score
