ossia vertical spacing

[luis jure]

hello list,

i'm making clean copies of transcriptions i made from recordings of a
traditional drum. it's only one instrument, and the notation is in one
two-line staff. i haven't tweaked the vertical spacing between systems,
and i'm happy with the default results.

but now i added an extra (transparent) staff with an alternate notation
(following the guidelines given for ossia staves), and i find that this
makes the distance to the following system way too big (see attached
image). i'd like to see the ossia staff a little closer to the main staff,
and the following system much closer than it is now. ideally, i'd like to
be able to do this without affecting the distance of the other systems. in
other words, that this ossia staff wouldn't create so much space below it.

i looked in section 4.4 of NR (Vertical spacing), but somehow it seems i
don't understand how to achieve this. in any case, none of the tweaks i
tried had any effect (perhaps they are in the wrong place...).


best,

lj
