This variable can sometimes be useful, but I haven't had much success
with it either.  Since vertical spacing and page breaking have
improved so much since 2.10, I usually try to keep the default
settings first.  And it worked in this case!  :-)

I haven't tested this, but check out Notation Reference 4.4.2,
"Vertical spacing between systems".  Using the page-limit-* variables
might help.  I'm not sure how it works though.

You're welcome!
