Changing vertical spacing in a column
Before the start of the first staff system, I have the name of each
instrument opposite the appropriate stave. The names are long, so I
have arranged them vertically, e.g.:
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup {
\center-column { Soprano Saxophone \line { in B \flat }
}
This is fine, but I need the lines of text to be closer to each other.
The only way of doing this I can find is by altering baseline-skip, but
I am afraid that my newbiness is letting me down here: I simply cannot
work out how to change this setting. I have tried all sorts of
permutations and varieties of syntax, but so far without success.
What is the correct syntax to change baseline-skip (and other such
variables)?
And is there a better way of altering the spacing of these lines of
text?

Thank you so much for that. Not only has it solved the immediate
problem, but it will be very useful to me as a guide for how to alter
the values of other variables. (It isn't always easy to find exactly
what you want in the Lilypond documentation, excellent and extensive
though it is.)
