Hi, Carlo,

between-system-padding specifies "The minimum amount of white space that 
will always be present between the bottom-most symbol of one system, and 
the top-most of the next system" (see 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Page-formatting#Vertical-dimensions>).
AFAIK, if no explicit unit (like \cm, \mm) is given, the number 
corresponds to staff spaces, i.e. the gap between two lines of the same 
(standard/global-size) staff.


HTH,
Alexander
