Very much obliged!  Can you please give me a dope-slap with the
page number of the manual where you found this?  Based on a
previous reply to this thread, I read chapter 4 pretty well I
thought, but there is no mention of system-system-spacing that I
can find (in the 2.12.3 PDF manual, even in the index).  That is
the manual that came with my 2.14.2 distribution, is there a
newer one out?  It appears the HTML manual online is also 2.12.

I have a piece where lilypond's default vertical spacing (except
for my chosen staff size) creates a lot of vertical collisions
between chordname staves and melody staves, sometimes with
volta above one staff overlapping with descending triplet
brackets in the staff above  (is that worthy of a submittal to
the bug squad?).  So I need to figure out how to tell lilypond to
stretch the vertical spacing to get rid of the collisions.  I
think your syntax tip will get me there.

Thank you!

Jim
