Re: System/System spacing

[Adrian Oehm]

Hi all

Thanks for your replies - they all pointed me in the right direction.

After a nice hot shower I realised part of my issue was the setting of 
ragged-bottom = ##t in the \paper block of the \book.

What I didn't realise then (but have worked out now :-) ) is that I can put a 
\paper block into each \bookpart and then control the system-system spacing 
basic-distance there...  And it works.

Thanks again

Adrian
