What a great resource!

Thank you!

Perhaps this will help?

Re: How to control spacing between scores in a bookpart?

Sorry about posting off list. I hit reply assuming it would go to
lilypond-user.

You are correct - the \cm specification is not necessary. I start seeing
results - notable separation between score1 and score2 with
score-system-spacing.basic-distance set around 12 or so. I get my desired
spacing with a value of 15.

Do you know what the relationship is between system-system-spacing and
 score-systems-spacing. Does one have precedence over the other? In
paper-defaults-init.ly  system-system-spacing.basic-distance is set to 12
while score-system-spacing.basic-distance is set to 14. It's interesting
that I don't see an effect until I reach or exceed
system-system-spacing.basic-distance.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi Stephen,

first of all: please keep conversation on-list, except if privacy is 
actually necessary.

I tried again adding score-system-spacing.basic-distance = 10\cm to 
the \paper block and now its working. I suspect that I don't really 
understand what a staff-space is and the values I used didn't result 
in any change. Changing to centimeters did something.


Did ‘something’? Did it actually insert 10 cm of space?
Maybe try again without the \cm, but with a (ridiculously) large number 
like 50 to see if it actually does anything. Staff-spaces, the distance 
between two normal staff-lines, are the basic measuring unit in 
LilyPond. This allows scaling everything along with the music.


Also note that I think there is a typo in the example given with the 
update one key-value example shown as 
*system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #8*. Shouldn't it be 
*score-system-spacing.basic-distance = #8?*


system-system-spacing is a thing as well, and all those flexible 
vertical spacing properties work basically the same, only with different 
values.

Hi Stephen,

have a look at this section: 


Specifically, you’ll want to adjust score-system-spacing.

You might try something like:
\markup \vspace #10
between the two scores

Hope this helps

How to control spacing between scores in a bookpart?

[Stephen Nesbitt]

When creating a jazz score I typically want to break the page into two
distinct sections - a top section composed of fretboard diagrams followed
by the actual score. I do *not* want the sections to be on separate pages.

I've got this basically to work using a \bookpart  section enclosing 2
\score sections.

What I haven't figured out is how to control the vertical spacing between
the two scores. In other words, I would like to control the vertical
spacing between the chord diagram section and the actual score. The default
spacing is a bit tighter than I would prefer.

Can anyone help out?

Thx,

-steve
