If i try the following:

\version "2.13.9"

notes = \relative c' {
    \repeat unfold 100 { c4 }
}

\score {
    \notes
    \layout {
        \context {
            \Staff
                \override VerticalAxisGroup #'next-staff-spacing = 
#'((space . 20) (padding . 15) (stretchability . 12) (minimum-distance . 
12))
        }
    }
}

regardless of the values I put in the alist, the spacing between staves 
doesn't change. What am I doing wrong here?
