Sorry, this is a complicated request!

I decided to uses bar numbers every 5 measures in a \book so added this variable (right from the manual) to each piece:

barNumbers = {
   \override Score.BarNumber  #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
   \set Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 5)
   \override Score.BarNumber #'font-size = #-2.5
   \override Score.BarNumber #'padding = #2.2
   \override Score.BarNumber #'print-function
   = #(make-stencil-boxer 0.1 0.25 Text_interface::print)
} The small padding was necessary to avoid collisions with other text that occasionally needed to be placed above notes.

Now, the staff separation for the inner pieces has more than doubled taking up too many pages. The first and last pieces are spaced normally.
\layout{ betweensystemspace = 5\mm }  doesn't do anything.

>>This only happens when \book is used. <<

I reported before that one of the pieces is very short but needs to be on its own page to avoid bad page turns. Raggedbottom did not work. I had patched this with invisible measures, but the above change to bar numbering ruined that and I need ragged bottom to work. It is clearly documented and supposed to be a stable feature. However, I didn't receive a clear answer before.

I apologize for whining about this but I've recompiled this mess over a hundred ways using everything I can understand from the documentation (with the exception of Scheme hacks which I don't understand yet). I had hoped to have this and similar works completed for tomorrow's rehearsal. The score is really simple and if anyone would be willing to help, I'd be happy to send them the entire text.
