Lilypond: paper spacing variables not being respected for a score inside markup
I'm doing some chords+lyrics song sheets, and trying to achieve a two column layout. From what I've read, the way to accomplish this is by putting scores within a markup block.

This works to get the two columns, but as soon as I do it, the paper variables that are controlling the vertical spacing seem to be ignored. How can I get two columns and proper spacing at the same time?

Here's a simple example:

Here's the code:

version "2.18.2"

chordNames = chordmode {
c1 f g a:m break
c f g:7 c break
}
words = lyricmode {
Here_are some random lyrics
These are more lyrics
}

paper {
indent = #0
ragged-right = ##t

% padding here controls space between lyrics and next line
system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0)
(minimum-distance . 0)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 0))
}

% Single column outside of markup is spaced according to paper variables
score {
<<
new ChordNames chordNames
new Lyrics words
>>
layout { context { ChordNames } }
}

% Two columns inside markup do not respect paper spacing variables
markup {
vspace #3
score {
<<
new ChordNames chordNames
new Lyrics words
>>
layout { context { ChordNames } }
}
hspace #8
score {
<<
new ChordNames chordNames
new Lyrics words
>>
layout { context { ChordNames } }
}
}
