Some months ago I proposed implementation of individual line spacing control
with\breakSpace #n to force n staff spaces between lines, and
\pageBreakSpace #n to force n staff spaces at the bottom of a page. Spacing
following normal breaks or those forced with \break or \pageBreak would be
calculated as now.
This presents a simple syntax to the user and allows precise vertical
spacing of individual lines or of an entire page if each line is followed by
a \breakSpace or \pageBreakSpace.
Too simple?

Hi,
sorry for the delays. The orchestra was very hectic for the past days,
causing some delay.
Unfortunately, I misread your original request. It's certainly feasible
to make staves appear at fixed distances and to make systems appear at
fixed positions on the page. However, I don't see how I can make staves
appear at fixed positions on the page in a sensible way.
I can add the latter (systems at fixed Y positions, including necessary
refactoring) for 150 eur. You should be able to make staves appear at
fixed positions in a system by simply setting the Y-offset of the
respective Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.
I plan to start this work on page layout early next week.
