RE: Space between Piano Staves

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Mr. Morris:

 

Thank you for your reply and the documentation.

 

My description of what I want was not clear. I have a set of variations each of them 24 measures. Each variation is on a separate page. Based on the quantity of notation, some variations need only two lines on a page while others require more – as much as five lines. For each variation Lilypond distributes the Piano staves equally on the page: variations with two Piano staves divide the page into thirds; variations with three Piano staves divide the page into fourths, and so on. I want the space between one Piano staff and the next Piano staff to be the same for all variations even if a white space appears at the bottom the page.

 

Is this possible?

 

Mark

For what term/command do I search the online manual for directions to control the distance from one Piano staff to the next Piano staff?

 

Hi Mark,  I think you are looking for this:
