system-system-spacing still works.

I think it's fine to increase the minimum distance of system-system-padding 
(I'll let someone else make the call of how much) now that stuff is snugger.  
But the cross-staff problems matter a great deal.  If you take out the slurs, 
the spacing problem is less of an eyesore (although still eyesoric).
