We can increase padding between systems as a workaround,
but we still do not get quantitatively the padding we requested between  
systems.

The spacing of the systems is enough to give Lyrics the space they  
*require* for the hard requirements of minimum-distance and padding, plus  
system-system padding.
But then, the Lyrics spread out based on their 'soft' spacing request,  
basic-distance, encroaching into our system-system padding.  (Bad Lyrics,  
bad bad bad.)

I suggest desired behavior would be, when soft-spacing the nonstaffs,  
either:
+to remember system-system padding, or
+to leave a gap of non-staff-unrelatedstaff padding between a nonstaff at  
the top/bottom of a system and items in the next system.
