How do i set the minimum system space?

[Philip Bergwerf]

Hello everyone,

I am puzzling with the following code:

%begin code
\version "2.18.2"

\header {
  title = "Impromptu in As-dur"
  subtitle = "D 835-2 (Opus 142 No. 2)"
  composer = "Franz Shubert"
  copyright = \markup {© "Philip Bergwerf" \italic "2016 ~" \normal-text
\bold \box {"Piano_TAB"}}
  tagline = ""
}

trva = {

}
trvb = {

This is a alternative notation method called 'Piano_TAB'. Because of the
special staff, lilypond does set the space between the system to 0. How can
i set the minimum system spacing? I hope you guys know how to do it?

Cheers,
Philip
