I tried modifying all of the vertical spacing snippets I could find, but didn't get any closer,
The link in your message was to the manual for the development version 2.13, and the vertical spacing system is changing in that version. Instead, <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vertical-spacing-between-systems#Vertical-spacing-between-systems> I do not understand why doubling between-system-space quadruples the spacing, but by trial and error : \version "2.12.3" \paper { between-system-space = 16 % I want exactly 4 staff-spaces between-system-padding = #-9 } { \repeat unfold 80 { c' d' e' f' } ] (The development version looks more sane in this area, so this should become easier in the forthcoming version 2.14 ) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
