Ok, so I've made a first pass and have something that works, see these files:
adjust-vert-spacing.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n166124/adjust-vert-spacing.ly> adjust-vert-spacing-test.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n166124/adjust-vert-spacing-test.ly> There are two functions, one that scales the flexible vertical spacing paper variables that affect spacing outside of systems: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables And one that scales the flexible vertical spacing grob-properties that affect spacing within systems: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems This makes it easy to globally increase (or decrease) vertical spacing in general without completely losing the basic proportions (and without losing your wits in the dizzying number of settings that can be overridden). Then, if you want, you can still use overrides to fine-tune specific things further. Any advice on how this could be improved? Currently padding is scaled, but I wonder whether only scaling minimum-distance and maximum-distance (and not padding) would be better? For some things there is only a padding value, so without padding they wouldn't be scaled at all. Currently the only properties that are being scaled are those that are explicitly set for each grob or context/engraver (in ly/engraver-init.ly and scm/define-grobs.scm). I wonder if there are also default values in effect for the properties that aren't explicitly set, that should also be scaled. If there are, I haven't found them yet. The default values are currently just hardcoded in the functions. Still wondering how to avoid this and whether it would be worth the trouble. For the grob properties it seems that they are "calculation-in-progress" unless you use after-line-breaking, which is probably too late to make changes. Maybe custom engravers? Suggestions welcome.
