Subject: the new vertical spacing between systems syntax



Concerning the examples in the manual, section 4.4.2:

  4.4.2 Explicit staff and system positioning

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning


I don't understand the reason that the variables that
override default spacing between systems:

 #'line-break-system-details #'((X-offset . 20))
 #'line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 40))
 #'line-break-system-details #'((X-offset . 20) (Y-offset . 40))
 #'line-break-system-details #'((alignment-distances . (15)))
#'line-break-system-details #'((X-offset . 20) (Y-offset . 40) (alignment-distances . (15)))


are within  one of the "\new Voice" brackets:

       \new Voice { }


Since these vertical spacing over-rides are to
supposed to effect spacing "between systems"
why are is this syntax inserted within
just one of the voices of a system?

I would have thought that syntax to indicate
spacing between systems would have been
placed within the "\score {}" brackets before
any of the "\new Staff" brackets.


Is my question clear?  Thank you for your help.

I believe it's because of this line:

when we override NonMusicalPaperColumn in the middle of note entry, use the special \overrideProperty command

"in the middle of note entry" implies the commands are entered in a voice block.
