I think Gerard is talking about a problem he has, rather than the one you originally posed.
FWIW, I have in the past seen some of the same behaviour he describes - when adding the between-system-space and between-system padding commands to a score, a large gap opens up in the output between the title and first stave. I can't remember if I managed to fix it or just removed the commands.

Also the distance between the title and first score increased an awful lot. After much tinkering with the numbers I got an acceptable result, but it would be nice to know why things were not predictable. I'm pretty much a newbie, so hopefully one of the experts will step in here. Gerard _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user I'm confused. Are you doing this to control the distance between systems or scores? I want to decrease the spaces between multiple \score blocks in a single \book block. I don't know if \bookpart allows that, but I haven't had much success with \bookpart in general, so I haven't been to eager to try again. James E. Bailey No virus found in this incoming message.
