Re: extra spacing between staves and verses

[Bill Mooney]

Greetings Keith,
Thanks for the comment. Do you have a special crystal ball there?

Do you know if there is any particular reason why inter-system spacings 
are done in the \paper block but spacing between staves is dealt with 
using commands in the \Staff context (Have I got the terminology correct!?)

In my innocence I thought that setting the latter in a 'global' 
definition would be the way to go.
Or is it because some users prefer to control individual staff spacing 
on a case by case basis... ?

If you have anything to do with the docs for this aspect of LP could you 
add to the 'selected snippets' section - the two snippets there don't, 
to my mind, make the spacing issue particularly clear...

Regards
Bill
