Hello all,

after reading the manual and the archives, I have to admit that I am
probably too stupid for the new spacing system.

I have the following song template and I want the staves to be further apart
so they fill about 2/3 of the entire page.

I fiddled around with ridiculously high values for padding, basic-distance
and minimum-distance,
but the staves don't move.
Most probably, I overlooked something or misunderstood the manuals
completely.
Any hints would be highly apprechiated.

You have only one staff here (in your system)!

I think what you want is to increase the space between _systems_.
Ah, that's the crucial point!
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
I looked at this, but somehow got lost between the difference between staves and systems.
I'll re-read this chapter.
\paper {
   system-system-spacing =
     #'((basic-distance . 16)
        (minimum-distance . 12)
        (padding . 1)
        (stretchability . 60))
}
Yes! that's it  - thank you!

Marc
Cheers,
