Thanks Abraham & Kieren!

My issue was, How can I reduce the vertical space between the last
(actually the only) system of a \score and the top (only) system of
the next.  After scrounging in paper-defaults-init.ly as suggested, I
found what I needed to tease: params for "score-markup-spacing".
Now my between-score spaces have the needed reduction!

For the record, extra fuss was forced by documentation var names
NOT matching those in paper-defaults-init.ly.

That latter lists:                              But the doc page lists:
between-system-spacing          markup-system-spacing
between-scores-system-spacing*  score-markup-spacing*
after-title-spacing                             score-system-spacing
before-title-spacing                    system-system-spacing
between-title-spacing                   markup-markup-spacing
top-system-spacing                      last-bottom-spacing
top-title-spacing                               top-system-spacing
bottom-system-spacing                   top-markup-spacing

* The Left var's param-set here turned out to work with the Right
varname.  But I suspect this same-line matchup was due to luck.
Maybe those Right names -- improvements, I reckon -- could get
due mention in the init file.

Thanks again for steering me!
