How do I add space between markups that I place under a system and the following system? I am adding harp pedal notation underneath a grand staff and would like the same amount of space 
1. between the bottom of the text and the following system 
2. between systems when there is no text.

Best,

Hi Rachel,

For adding some space between systems using markup, this little 'trick' could also work, if you want to try it. Does that help?

\version "2.19.82"

{
  \repeat unfold 20 { c1 }
  c_\markup \lower #15 " " c c c
\repeat unfold 20 { c1 }

  c^\markup \raise #15 " "
  \repeat unfold 20 { c1 }
}
