That's perfect, it does work. I guess my problem was I don't know how
to interpret the Internal Reference document. It seems to list that
there are 3 properties/values a for staff-staff-spacing (and my syntax
was all wrong!). The syntax is in chapter 4 of the tutorial.

Perfect. This does exactly what I want.
I actually saw the snippet but I don't understand how I identify
something as either a Script or a TextScript. From your solution, it
appears that the \fermata is a 'Script'.
