system-system-spacing still works. I think it's fine to increase the minimum distance of system-system-padding (I'll let someone else make the call of how much) now that stuff is snugger. But the cross-staff problems matter a great deal. If you take out the slurs, the spacing problem is less of an eyesore (although still eyesoric).
