Peter, To accomplish this you need to adjust the system-system spacing. The documentation for doing this adjustment is found in the Notation Reference, section 4.1.4.
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables Probably all of section 4.1 is good to read to help you get started on this. If you have specific questions after trying to adjust the system-system spacing, then a specific question could be more easily answered on the list. Hope this helps, Carl On Sat, Aug 24, 2024 at 1:59 AM Peter X <peterandu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear LilyPond Community, > > I hope this message finds you well. > > I am currently working on a project where I have a score that is long > enough to automatically wrap onto a new line.
