Thanks, especially to Kieren and foxfanfare, for pointing me in the right
direction. I ended up using
score-markup-spacing
markup-system-spacing
markup-markup-spacing
and
system-system-spacing
and learning something about basic distance, minimum distance, and
stretchability, although I'm still not entirely comfortable with them (or
their logical/program meanings).

All the best,

Ralph

Hi Ralph,

For your first problem, I'd suggest to play with (in the \paper block):
markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 20)
 (padding . 2)
 (stretchability . 10))

Have you adjusted the markup-markup-spacing parameters?

Hope that helps!

Spacing of titles and text in a \book

2018-09-09 Thread Ralph Palmer
Greetings -

I've been using LilyPond for a long time now, and *really* like it. I
transcribe and transpose classical music and fiddle tunes for myself and
friends.

I'm running LilyPond 2.19.81 with Frescobaldi 3.0.0 under Linux/Ubuntu
18.04.1.

I'm putting together a collection of fiddle tunes, and I've run into a
spacing problem. I've tried to make a MWE, but it's still sort of long.

I'm having difficulties with the spacing. The title of the Collection and
the title of the first tune are closer than I like, and the distance
between a line of text after a tune and the title of the next tune is close
enough that it sometimes looks like the text goes with the following tune.
Any suggestions for an easy, preferably \book -wide solution?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ralph
