Spacing between the barlines

[Paul Rijke]

Hi All,

 

I've got a question which I need some help with.  I transcribe my daughters drum lessons (not being a drummer myself) and I end up with this which compiles great. The only thing I can't seem to change is the distance after a line break. I want this being spread over one page more, so the 4 beats need to be the same per line, only the distance need to be bigger. Preferably vertical aligned across the page

 

Does anyone has the solution for this? I tried between-system-space but this doens't seem to take any effect. Any help is being appreciated. (and also other tips of improving the source file, so I will get it better in the future)
