Yes, thank you! You gave me the solution, and it works fine. My
question to myself is how I could miss that in my searching through
the manuals. But the first things making you blind are the eyes.
However, Joram. Your suggestion to use
default-staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance did not work for me. I
have tried it in different places: in the \layout block inside the
\score block (as in the example), in a \layout block outside the
\score and also inside a \with block appended to the first \staff.
Nowhere it had any effect, but on all these places the sentence
without "default-" did work as intended. So there must be something
I have missed. Yes, I admit, I do no quite understand the short
explanation in the manual.
So thank you all: Joram, Simon and Stephen for your valuable help.

Sorry, the code example became totally distorted in the previous

---------------------------------------------------
I have tried to find in the manuals180 how to increase the
distance between systems in the same score. I have found how to
control the distance between individual staves inside the system,
but not between systems. In my real task I want to fill the page.
I see there is plenty of room below the last system, but I cannot
find out how to get the score to expand. I also want to use the
tagline at the bottom, but this should not have any impact.
Here is a simple example:
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
<<
\new StaffGroup
<<
\new Staff
{ c'1 e'1 \break g'1 b'1 }
\new Staff
{ d'1 f'1 \break a'1 c''1 }
>>
>>
\layout {
indent = #0
ragged-right = ##t
%\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 15))
}
}
If you remove the comment sign (%) from the "\override" sentence
at the end of the code, the space between the staves increases,
but what to write to make the same happen between the two systems?
Reading the manual make me think, that possibly
"staffgroup-staff-spacing" could be the solution, but I have had
no success so far. I have tried, I think, all combinations of
contexts and grobs, but none has been successful.
By the way, I also found a discrepancy between the manual and the
real life. According to the manual (e.g. chapter 4.4.1 in the
Notation Reference) the override sentence could also be written
like:
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing
#'basic-distance = #15
but this did not succeed for me. I did also test the modern way of
writing with dots between the keywords, but with no effect.
