According to [1], I was trying to modify the minimum distance between one staff and staff below using:
\new Staff \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing #'minimum-distance = #10 } But this produced a "warning: type check for `staff-staff-spacing' failed; value `((minimum-distance . 10) . #<primitive-procedure ly:axis-group-interface::calc-staff-staff-spacing>)' must be of type `list'" -- and the spacing overripe takes no effect. I do get the expected result using the alternate syntax (to replace all of the staff-staff-spacing properties): \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 10) (minimum-distance . 12) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 10)) } Is the single-property syntax no longer supported in 2.14.2? Just curious because I copied this: \new Staff \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'default-staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #10 } { … } ... from the reference page, removed "default-" and changed basic-distance to minimum-distance, no other changes, and it failed.
