There's a property minVerticalAlign that you should be able to set
to solve the problem, however, I'm not sure it works correctly at
the moment. An ugly workaround is to add a `_" "' to some notes in 
bassus1 at each staff line and a `^" "' to the corresponding notes
in cantus2. 

We've discussed this problem several times on the list and I'm
convinced that the idea minVerticalAlign, namely to set a minimum 
distance between all vertical entities (Staffs, StaffGroups or 
LyricStaffs) within a Score or StaffGroup or whatever, doesn't work. 
What we need is something similar to \vspace in LaTeX, which adds a 
vertical space below a specific Staff, StaffGroup or whatever.
