Re: Vertical Spacing Not Working

[Will Oram]

Well, no, I was aiming more for minimal white space everywhere. Not  
on top, not on bottom, the middle, in the aether. Only between system  
staves, plus enough between systems to distinguish them.

I've used lp long enough to remember that for the longest time what  
I'm asking was impossible. Perhaps it's still impossible and I'm  
misunderstanding the manual. I've paid less attention to late 2.7  
development than prior versions. In that case a) the section might  
benefit from clarification, and b) it's something for which I'd be  
willing to pool money to get a fix accomplished.
