Decrease the value of StaffGrouper #'staffgroup-staff-spacing for
your GrandStaff (containing the violins).
By default StaffGrouper #'staffgroup-staff-spacing has bigger values
of 'basic-distance , 'minimum-distance and 'stretchability
than for StaffGrouper #'staff-staff-spacing .
Set it to the same values as StaffGrouper #'staff-staff-spacing and
it seems OK, isn't it?
\layout{
% your first part ...
\context { \GrandStaff
\override StaffGrouper #'staff-staff-spacing #'stretchability = #3.5
\override StaffGrouper #'staffgroup-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 9)
(minimum-distance . 7)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 3.5))
}
% etc.
}
Cheers,
Xavier
