and the following non-musical column will be measured to the bar line
instead of to the beginning of the non-musical column. If there is a

line will be placed equidistant between the two nearest staves on
either side, unless collisions or other spacing constraints
prevent this. Setting staff-affinity
for a staff causes it
to be treated as a non-staff line. Setting staff-affinity
to #f
causes a non-staff line to be treated as a staff.

staff-staff-spacing
(list)
When applied to a staff-group's
StaffGrouper
grob, this spacing alist controls the distance
between consecutive staves within the staff-group. When applied
to a staff's VerticalAxisGroup
grob, it controls the
distance between the staff and the nearest staff below it in the
same system, replacing any settings inherited from the
StaffGrouper
grob of the containing staff-group, if there
is one. This property remains in effect even when non-staff lines
appear between staves. The alist can contain the following keys:
-
basic-distance
-- the vertical distance, measured in
staff-spaces, between the reference points of the two items when
no collisions would result, and no stretching or compressing is in
effect.
-
minimum-distance
-- the smallest allowable vertical
distance, measured in staff-spaces, between the reference points
of the two items, when compressing is in effect.
-
padding
-- the minimum required amount of unobstructed
vertical whitespace between the bounding boxes (or skylines) of
the two items, measured in staff-spaces.
-
stretchability
-- a unitless measure of the dimension's
relative propensity to stretch. If zero, the distance will not
stretch (unless collisions would result).
-
staffgroup-staff-spacing
(list)
The spacing alist
controlling the distance between the last staff of the current
staff-group and the staff just below it in the same system, even
if one or more non-staff lines exist between the two staves. If
the staff-staff-spacing
property of the staff's
VerticalAxisGroup
grob is set, that is used instead. See
staff-staff-spacing

structure.
