Okay, so in the interests of contributing an improved snippet to
the repository, page 334 says that between-system-padding is my
friend if I want to increase the minimum spacing between systems.

Technically,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/music-glossary/system#system
says 'system' is two or more staves, but I presume if I am
engraving only a single staff, then that is a one-staff 'system'
for the purposes of this example, true?

Bottom line, I'm still in a situation where any value I choose
for between-system-padding gives me no error, and identical
output with no change in spacing:
