Okay, so in the interests of contributing an improved snippet to the repository, page 334 says that between-system-padding is my friend if I want to increase the minimum spacing between systems. Technically, http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/music-glossary/system#system says 'system' is two or more staves, but I presume if I am engraving only a single staff, then that is a one-staff 'system' for the purposes of this example, true? Bottom line, I'm still in a situation where any value I choose for between-system-padding gives me no error, and identical output with no change in spacing: Processing `snippet-12.ly' Parsing...
