You have only one staff here (in your system)! I think what you want is to increase the space between _systems_. Have a look at NR 4.1.4 Flexible vertical spacing \paper variables http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables.html \paper { system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 16) (minimum-distance . 12) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 60)) } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
