I see that the command that emits this syntax is

Command: System to System Padding
Allows control over the padding between successive systems down the
page. (A system is all the staffs representing the music at one time,
sometimes called a "line" of music).
Location: Object Menu ▶ Score ▶ Typesetter ▶ Print Layout ▶ Vertical
Spacing
Internal Name: SystemSystemPadding

I think it is the case that 2.18 supports the newer syntax, so it would
be possible to update the command ready for the 2.20 release of
LilyPond. I think there may be a lot more commands affected by this
syntax change. I'll file a bug report for this.
