Hello
How do I decrease the distance between staves?
The command

\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 4)

Doesn't seem to help much,

Since (-4 . 4) is the default value in LilyPond version 2.4, it will
obviously not make any diffence. However, from version 2.4, the
property minimumVerticalExtent will only affect the separation within
each score line, i.e. if you have a score with several staves it will
affect the distance between the staves and if you have a a score with
a stave of music and a line of lyrics then it will affect the separation
between these.
If you want to affect the distance between the score lines, then you
should use the betweensystempadding and betweensystemspace as described
in the section on "Page layout" in the manual. The default values are
4mm and 20mm, respectively.

I tried all possible combination of numbers but
there is always a minimum distance between staves which I don't know how to
decrease.

I would like to print the attached music on a sinlge page without using a
font too small (say with a 16). The orginal is printed on a single A4 page
with a font size more or less like feta 16, with Lilypond I need two pages
instead, and there is a lot of room between staves.
This is concert piece so after all I may also keep it in 2 pages, but I must
copy plenty of parade music and it is imperative that I am able to print a
piece on a sinlge A5 landscape sheet and with a decent font size because
it's music to be played while standing or even worse while walking:-)
