Oh, sorry, I don't know, how I got that one messed up. I was quite sure I was
copying straight out of the file which I just before ran...

So do I get you right that Ae does not only make the space between the systems
equal, but also tries to spread the systems equally over the page, i.e. tries
to fill the whole page (if some threshold, how full the page has to be, is
passed)?

I am curious how you managed to adjust the inter-system spacing in the two
first-category examples you most recently posted. DerTag_wide seems to
correspond with the 3-system code you posted on 4/29, but as I tried to explain
above, that behavior of Ae is not as expected and not something I ever planned
for. However, when I remove Ae, the spacing comes out narrower than in
DerTag_close, so the only way I can think of offhand to get your spacing there
is to remove Ae and use \spread. Could you post the PMX files?
DerTag_close has been created with the following code:

DerTag_wide has been created with the same code, but the \spread commands
commented out, Ae is active in both:
