4.4.2 Vertical spacing between systems
Space between systems are controlled by four \paper variables,
\paper {
between-system-space = 1.5\cm
between-system-padding = #1
ragged-bottom=##f
ragged-last-bottom=##f
}
When only a couple of flat systems are placed on a page, the resulting
vertical spacing may be non-elegant: one system at the top of the page,
and the other at the bottom, with a huge gap between them. To avoid this
situation, the space added between the systems can be limited. This
feature is activated by setting to #t the
page-limit-inter-system-space variable in the \paper
block. The paper variable page-limit-inter-system-space-factor
determines how much the space can be increased: for instance, the value
1.3 means that the space can be 30% larger than what it would be
on a ragged-bottom page.
In the following example, if the inter system space were not limited,
the second system of page 1 would be placed at the page bottom. By
activating the space limitation, the second system is placed closer to
the first one. By setting page-limit-inter-system-space-factor to
1, the spacing would the same as on a ragged-bottom page, like
the last one.
