Actually, I'm trying to help clean up bugs in the spacing system, so I

The score-system-spacing settings handle the case when there is no
markup text between scores. (If there is markup text, the LilyPond uses
markup-system-spacing instead.)
Bill's helpful comment (with my minor correction)
piece="score-system-spacing affects spacing between 'scores' - but not
between [markup like title, piece, etc.] and the score"
was itself markup text, so adding it caused LilyPond to refer to
markup-system-spacing instead.
We have to appreciate the irony in that.

Yes, commenting out the 'piece = { .... }' enables both score- and
system- spacing commands to work... and thanks for the info on the fact
that LP uses markup-system-spacing. But, isn't that somewhat
non-intuitive? And it will require a fairly complex explanation in the
docs to make it really clear, particularly to those users such as myself
who need a good bit of hand-0holding! :)
... and how does one then achieve score- spacing if there are items like
'piece' in the composition?
Ah well, back to the vellum...
Regards,
Bill
