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.
