I have searched the archive and found an entry which should work but when I
try it it doesn't. I must have misunderstood something along the line and it
may be about definitions.
I have a group staff containing five parts. By default I get on one page
two "lines" of five staves. There is little space between the groups but a
lot of space below the second group. I am seeking to place these two more
evenly on the page.
My reading of the manuals led me to :-
Properties of the StaffGrouper grob
StaffGrouper properties are typically adjusted with an \override at the
StaffGroup level (or
equivalent).
staff-staff-spacing
The distance between consecutive staves within the current staff-group. The
staff-staff-spacing property of an individual staff's VerticalAxisGroup grob
can be overriden with different spacing settings for that staff.
staffgroup-staff-spacing
The distance between the last staff of the current staff-group and the staff
just
below it in the same system, even if one or more non-staff lines (such as
Lyrics)
exist between the two staves. Does not apply to the bottom staff of a
system. The
staff-staff-spacing property of an individual staff's VerticalAxisGroup grob
can be overriden with different spacing settings for that staff.
But
% First Score block

\score {

}
piece =\markup {\fill-line { \column {

} % end of header
} %end of bookpart block
However this must be incorrect since any value in \override
StaffGrouper.staffgroup-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #n has the same
result ie no effect.
