4.4.2 Vertical spacing between systems
The mechanisms that control spacing between systems are similar to those
that control spacing between staves within a system (see
Vertical spacing inside a system). The main difference is that
the variables to control spacing between systems are set in the
\paper
block, rather than as grob properties. These paper block
variables are between-system-spacing,
between-scores-system-spacing, after-title-spacing,
before-title-spacing, between-title-spacing,
top-system-spacing, top-title-spacing and
bottom-system-spacing. Note that these variables ignore non-staff
lines. For example, between-system-spacing controls the spacing
from the middle staff line of the bottom staff from one system to
the middle staff line of the top staff of the next system, whether
or not there are lyrics below the upper system.
See Vertical dimensions for a description of each of these
variables.
There are two more \paper
block variables that affect vertical
spacing: if ragged-bottom is set to ##t
then no pages will
be stretched (which means that neither the space between systems nor the
space within systems will be stretched). If ragged-last-bottom
is set to ##t
then the last page will not be stretched.
