Re: trouble adding space between systems

Great points. Your answers cleared up a few big misconceptions for me. Indeed, LaTeX and lilypond-book will have the final say on integrating and spacing musical systems, so the \newcommand trick was just the right ingredient. Thank you both! On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 12:06 PM, Lukas-Fabian

Re: trouble adding space between systems

That would be because (as far as I understand) lilypond-book inserts your scores as single images, each containing one system. Hence, the space between systems that Lilypond would use plays no role here; instead, the spacing has to be defined in LaTeX. In my last large document,

trouble adding space between systems

Hi All, I've come to a point where I need manual control over the vertical spacing between musical systems. The most prominent solution I've found seems not to be behaving as expected: no matter how I change the values in the \paper block, each configuration returns the same pdf. Is there
