Suppose we have this score:

\score { \new Staff \repeat unfold 100 b1 }

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a5")
}

%%%%

And you want systems to be more spaced out by a minimum amount of 20
staff-spaces. Add this to the paper block:

system-system-spacing = #'(
                             (basic-distance . 20)
                             )

More complex settings are possible, check out the documentation for
vertical flexible paper variables. This is an example:

system-system-spacing = #'((stretchability . 3)
                             (basic-distance . 20)
                             (minimum-distance . 10)
                             (padding . 5))

This part of our documentation is correct and complete, but I agree in
that more examples would be very welcome.
