Hello, Here is a little explanation about the problem : in fact, when including a lilypond snippet with breaks in a LaTeX document, lilypond-book makes a separate .ly file for each system.
In that way, the become 2 images included in a LaTeX file. That's why the \paper {system-system-spacing} block won't do anything. The subject was mentionned 2 years ago here : http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2009-01/msg00440.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2009-01/msg00440.html A possible solution was to add a command in the LaTeX preamble : \newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\vspace{1mm}\linebreak} You may of course change the \vspace to the value you want. The question was also mentionned here : http://old.nabble.com/between-system-space-does-not-work-with-lilypond-book-td6988067.html#a6988067 http://old.nabble.com/between-system-space-does-not-work-with-lilypond-book-td6988067.html#a6988067 Hope this helps.
