[Jin Choi]

Thank you. I read that page multiple times and couldn’t figure out the proper context to put it in. That works great.

Hello,

Add

\layout {
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #12
  }
}

See explanations in NR 4.4.1 Flexible vertical spacing within systems > Spacing of grouped staves

Cheers,

Xavier
