I believe LilyPondBook creates each system independently then places them on the page. As a result, system spacings set with LilyPond commands have no effect.

My problem is that I get it working in Frescobaldi (i.e. lilypond). But when I use the layout environment inside a LaTeX-document and compile it via lilypondbook, lilypondbook seemingly doesn’t catch the \layout block. The same happened to the case of system-spacing-topic and the \paper block, I had to include the following line inside the preamble: \newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\vspace{20mm}\linebreak} (I found this hint at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/invoking-lilypond_002dbook.html) I am wondering whether one can modify your override-statement into a statement that only applies to a particular chord block. \chords { \set majorSevenSymbol = \markup { maj7 } c1:maj7 bes2:maj7 a:7.9.13 d:min9 g:9.5+ c1:maj7.9 f2:maj7 g:/f c:min/es d:7.9 as:maj7 bes:maj7 c1:6.9 } I hope my newbie-question doesn’t bother anybody here on the lilypond forum! Thanks, Raphael.
