Hi -

My appreciation to all on the list for all the help we pass around.

I'm having a problem with system-system spacing and ragged-last-bottom in a
\Book with multiple scores. I was able, at some point, to do a ragged last
bottom on the first score, but the systems were too close for my comfort.
I've looked a lot at what seem to be the appropriate places in the Notation
Reference, but I cannot figure out how to configure the context within the
first score to control either the ragged bottom or the system-system
distance, much less both.

I would greatly appreciate help on these issues.

All the best,

Ralph
