Well it would do. That's because it uses alignment-distances rather than Y-offset. The reference that Harm posted gives an example of exactly what you appear (to me) to want, ie spacing of systems, followed by another which combines this with an increase of spacing between the staves of the systems, which you appear (to me, but not to Harm) not to want. I think Harm thought you wanted the latter and not the former, and posted such an example. I'm guessing you want \new Voice { \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 0)) s1*5 \break \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 40)) s1*5 \break \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 60)) s1*5 \break } rather than \new Voice { \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 20) (alignment-distances . (10))) s1*5 \break \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 60) (alignment-distances . (15))) s1*5 \break \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 85) (alignment-distances . (20))) s1*5 \break } both taken from the examples in the NM ยง4.4.2. Does this qualify as a proper general solution to a specific case or is it still a hack?
