In this post, I was wondering how to modify the layout of the titles of the parts of a document. I'd like to know how I could insert a space between the end of the title of a part and the beginning of a chapter title. This is my MWE:
\documentclass[hidelinks,12pt,twoside,openright,a4paper]{book}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength{\cftbeforechapskip}{3pt}%espace entre chapitres
\renewcommand{\cftchapleader}{\cftdotfill{\cftdotsep}} % for chapters
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\l@part[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >-2\relax
\addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
\addvspace{2.25em \@plus\p@}%
\setlength\@tempdima{3em}%
\begingroup
\parindent \z@ \rightskip \@pnumwidth
\parfillskip -\@pnumwidth
{\hfill\parbox{0.6\linewidth}{\centering\large \bfseries #1}\hfill
\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth{\hss #2%
\kern-\p@\kern\p@}}\par
\nobreak
\global\@nobreaktrue
\everypar{\global\@nobreakfalse\everypar{}}%
\endgroup
\fi}
\newcounter{partorder}
\newcommand{\partorder}{%
\ifcase\value{partorder}\or First\or Second\or Third\or Fourth\or Fifth\or Sixth\or Seventh\or Eighth\or Ninth\or Tenth\else ??(out range)\fi%
} % If you have more than 10 parts, you need extend this define
\def\@part[#1]#2{%
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >-2\relax
\refstepcounter{part}\stepcounter{partorder}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\texorpdfstring{\partorder\space\partname\\#1}{\partorder\space\partname\ --\ #1}}%
\else
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}%
\fi
\markboth{}{}%
{\centering
\interlinepenalty \@M
\normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >-2\relax
\huge\bfseries \partname\nobreakspace\thepart
\par
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\Huge \bfseries #2\par}%
\@endpart}
\makeatother
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
% We don’t want chapter and section numbers
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

\fancyfoot{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
