 Hello all,

 I have been trying to modify the distance between systems and staves, but I
 found it somehow difficult to understand. I am using the following code (on
 which I added the a \paper snippet):

 \version 2.17.24

 \paper {
   system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #8
   score-system-spacing =
 #'((basic-distance . 12)
 (minimum-distance . 6)
 (padding . 1)
 (stretchability . 12))
 }
 \new Staff {
   \repeat unfold 200 { a4 b c' d' }
 }

 I was playing with the values of the snippet above, and the only line that
 affects something is the system-system-spacing. All parameters of
 score-system-spacing seem to do nothing here, even though it is defined in
 the reference as the distance between the last system of a score and the
 first system of the score that follows it, when no (title or top-level)
 markup exists between them.

Huh?  You have just _one_ score here, containing 200 measures of { a4
b c' d' }, so small wonder that score-system-spacing doesn't do
anything.  To change the spacing between lines (systems), you use
system-system-spacing, exactly as you said.

Is this clearer now?

Yes it is Janek, and I got it working well with the correct
system-system-spacing code (it seems I used some old code for it). And I do
understand why the score-system-spacing wasn't making any difference at all
:)

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Shall we reword something in the documentation to make this clearer?

Thanks a lot Pierre! I find myself constantly confused with the changes
from version 2.16 to 2.17.

 Hello all,


 Hi Gilberto,



  I altered the *system-system-spacing #'basic-distance* to various
 values but couldn't see any difference.


 'Cause that has changed in 2.17.
 Use :

 system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 8) (padding . 1))

 Cheers,
 Pierre
