Thank you very much, your suggestions helped the situation. I have two
more issues.

This works fine. Another \layout vs. \paper issue I'm having is the following:
\layout {
\context {
\StaffGroup
\override StaffGrouper
#'staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #12
}
}
This snippet works, but if I try and place it in \paper, as follows,
the staff-staff spacing does not work.
\paper {
default-staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #12
}
system-system-spacing *does* work in \paper, so I'm confused as to why
default-staff-staff-spacing does not.

Works well, thanks. Is there a way to make this portable so changes to
/Applications/LilyPond.app//Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly
would not be required? If there's a way to avoid having to change
system files in future upgrades, I'd appreciate the suggestion.
And one last item: what is the tweak to pad more space between the
last system on a page and the copyright and/or tagline? I've gone
through a amount of changes but can't determine how to add more space
so the copyright does not look to be part of the lyrics *grin*
Thank you,
