Re: decreasing spacing between staves

[Mats Bengtsson]

You say that you tried adjusting the minimum-Y-extent, but
did try doing it both for the Staff and the TabStaff context?
The following should get rid of any extra space:
\layout{
 \context{
   \Staff
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
 }
 \context{
   \TabStaff
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
 }
}
