Perhaps you missed the initial post?

Mind you, the terms have already changed alot, but you get
the idea:

Or target/opposite, reference/opposite, refstaff/oppstaff?

Actually, now I really like refstaff/oppstaff:
  nonstaff-refstaff-spacing
  nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing
  nonstaff-oppstaff-spacing

> So my preference is for [groupedstaff-groupedstaff].

Trevor, after some consideration, I'm afraid I'm not so much
in favor of groupedstaff-groupedstaff (or it's shorter
cousin).  They too strongly suggest the possibility of this:

  [last staff of group] - [first staff of next group]

It would be the longest, but I like the clarity.  How do you
feel about
  staffgrouped-staff-staff-spacing ?

It's the same length as
  within-group-staff-staff-spacing

but it has one less hyphen, which for some reason I consider
an advantage.  Although I might prefer within-group anyway.
Now, if we do use
  within-group-staff-staff-spacing

I thought we might as well shorten
  staffgroup-staff-spacing

to
  group-staff-spacing .

What do you think?
