Hi Bruce,

I would separate the parts into individual scores, and then use
score-system-spacing to control the inter-part spacing:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS %%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"
\paper {
score-system-spacing.padding = #16
}
\score {
\new Staff
{
a1^"part 1" a a a \break
a1 a a a
}
}
\score {
\new Staff
{
a1^"part 2" a a a \break
a1 a a a \break
}
}
\score {
\new Staff
{
a1^"part 3" a a a
a1 a a a \break
}
}
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS %%%%
I’d also likely use something other than markup for the "titles" (e.g., "part
3"), but that’s a different topic…
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
