Hi Kieren,

I don't understand.
There is a setting controlling nonstaff-nonstaff spacing, by using
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing etc.
for the appropriate nonstaff context.

Cf. NR 4.4.1 Flexible vertical spacing within systems > Spacing of
non-staff lines
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems.html#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines

Are you saying this does not work in your case?
If so, please provide a minimal example including the definition of
your "ScoreMarks" and "MeasureCounter" contexts.

Cheers,
Xavier
