All the scores I have here, fromBeethoven through Mendelssohn, Bruckner and Mahler to Hindemith, confirmthis. I attach a version of the template where this is changed.ThanksI think for this example all that is needed is to reduce the global staff– The image rendition in the docs is extremely compressed, with overlapping stuff, staves touching one another &c. This is a really bad example and needs to be changed; how is this done? I don’t know the framework in lilypond-book-preamble.ly; certainly there will be someone who can quickly say how to allow the score more space.size, which is set (unusually) in this file to 17.I’m afraid it won’t be as easy. I also thought that way, but I tried it (loading the complete source file for the image with \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" etc.) and it doesn’t make a difference: everything gets smaller, but is compressed and cut the same.Yes I verified this too. Well I tried to fiddle about the 'Flexible Vertical Spacing' (NR 4.4.1) http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation-big-page#flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems I think a combination of these will help, the problem I have is that I cannot work out which. :( I've never got my head around these settings.

If you use the template locally, the spacings are fine. So it's something to do with the way snippets are compiled: perhaps a default paper-size setting? The version on the LSR is also badly spaced, so it may be possible to experiment with that to correct the version in the docs.
