Re: changing staffgroup-staff-spacing

Dear Keith, dear Community,
I tought I could also solve problem in the below quoted snippet with and override of minimum-Y-extent. But unfortunately, I get a bad collision between dynamics and and the next staff:

\version "2.14.1"

re = { \change Staff = right }
li = { \change Staff = left }

primoA = \relative c''' {
   \crescTextCresc 
   \override PianoStaff.DynamicText #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-12 . 0) % this results in a strange-looking result! 
  
   bes16\< as f d \times 4/5 {a16-.[ e-.  \li b-. fis-. c-.]}  \ottava #-1     \times 2/3 {f,16-. bes,-. es,-.}  

   a,16-.\ff \ottava #0 r r4 | %klaviereinsright 46
}
primoB = { \clef bass
  #(ly:export (skip-of-length primoA))
}

secondoA = \relative a'{
  \times 4/5 { a16-.[ e-. \li b-. fis-. c-.] }   \times 2/3 { f,16-.[ bes,-. ees,-.]} \re  r 8 r 2
}
secondoB = { \clef bass #(ly:export (skip-of-length secondoA)) }

\score {
  <<
        \new PianoStaff
        << \new Staff ="right" \primoA
          \new Staff ="left" \primoB >>  
        
             \new PianoStaff
        << \new Staff ="right" \secondoA
          \new Staff ="left" \secondoB >>  
        >>
}

I think, the thing with  the "skyline-horizontal-padding" should be also a
part of the documentation. At least I didn't find it there.

Right. Both this and the minimum-Y-extent are mentioned only in the Internals Reference, "user back-end properties", with other things that people rarely need to use.  These two could probably benefit from an example in the main documentation.  You can write a documentation addition and suggest a place to put it in the manual.  I'll think about doing so as well, and post if I do.
