This is the system-system-spacing variable. You can read about it here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables They show an example of the system-system-spacing being adjusted. You may not see changes when you make small changes to the variables, because it is often true that the spacing between systems is actually larger than the specified spacing because the systems are stretched out to fit evenly on the page. You can see the changes more clearly if you set ragged-bottom to #t. HTH, Carl

Karsten.
Perhaps:
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##f
}

Dear Phil, unfortunately not. I do not want to in increase the distance within a
system, but the distance between systems. I attached an image by which you
probably directly see my problem: bar 4 - 6 is set too close to bar 1 - 3. And
bar
7 - 10 is set too close to bar 4 - 6.
I am very sorry, that I do not know / use the correct English words to say what
I
mean. Even in German the respective words are used inconsistently and
unsufficiently:
staff = "a series of (normally five) horizontal lines upon and between which the
musical notes are written"
staves = "pl of staff"
system =
a) "collection of staves (staff) [...] used for writing down [...] orchestral
music"
b) "section of the score spanning the width of a single page"
These are the definitions of the LilyPond glossary
(lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/music-glossary-big-page.html)
But I want to denote this: If my system ( meaning 'a' ) does not contain so many
staves, that it spanns the width of a single page ( meaning 'b' ) , but more
than
only to fill one line, then my system is split into system parts (by a kind of
line feed) which are printed on the page.
So now I still have 2 questions:
a) What's the correct Lilypond word for a line (of staves)?
b) How do I increase the distance between the lines.
Again, any help is appreciated
Karsten
