@node Vertical spacing between systems
@subsection Vertical spacing between systems
-Space between systems are controlled by four @code{\paper} variables,
-
-@example
-\paper @{
- between-system-space = 1.5\cm
- between-system-padding = #1
- ragged-bottom=##f
- ragged-last-bottom=##f
-@}
-@end example
-
-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 @code{#t} the
-@code{page-limit-inter-system-space} variable in the @code{\paper}
-block. The paper variable @code{page-limit-inter-system-space-factor}
-determines how much the space can be increased: for instance, the value
-@code{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 @code{page-limit-inter-system-space-factor} to
-@code{1}, the spacing would the same as on a ragged-bottom page, like
-the last one.

+The mechanisms that control spacing between systems are similar to those
+that control spacing between staves within a system (see
+@ref{Vertical spacing inside a system}). The main difference is that
+the variables to control spacing between systems are set in the
+@code{\paper} block, rather than as grob properties. These paper block
+variables are @var{between-system-spacing},
+@var{between-scores-system-spacing}, @var{after-title-spacing},
+@var{before-title-spacing}, @var{between-title-spacing},
+@var{top-system-spacing}, @var{top-system-spacing},
+@var{top-title-spacing} and @var{bottom-system-spacing}. Note that
+these variables ignore non-staff lines. For example,
+@var{between-system-spacing} controls the spacing from the middle staff
+line of the bottom staff from one system to the middle staff line of the
+top staff of the next system, whether or not there are lyrics below the
+upper system. See @ref{Vertical dimensions} for a description of each
+of these variables.
+
+There are two more @code{\paper} block variables that affect vertical
+spacing: if @var{ragged-bottom} is set to @code{##t} then no pages will
+be stretched (which means that neither the space between systems nor the
+space within systems will be stretched). If @var{ragged-last-bottom}
+is set to @code{##t} then the last page will not be stretched.

additional spacing parameters (including, for example, a corresponding
@code{X-offset} pair), we need only set the @code{Y-offset} and

Some points to consider:
@itemize
-@item When using @code{alignment-offsets}, lyrics count as a staff.
+@item When using @code{alignment-distances}, lyrics and other non-staff lines
+do not count as a staff.
@item The units of the numbers passed to @code{X-offset},
-@code{Y-offset} and @code{alignment-offsets} are interpreted as multiples
+@code{Y-offset} and @code{alignment-distances} are interpreted as multiples
of the distance between adjacent staff lines. Positive values move staves
and lyrics up, negative values move staves and lyrics down.
