Hello All:

Working on a 11x17 Wind Ensemble piece, the conductor has requested that
each of the 31 staves on each system be forced to appear in exactly the
same vertical position on each page so that he can read straight across any
2 open pages.
I've abbreviated the .ly file I've been working from below:


 #(set-global-staff-size 12)
\paper{
top-margin = 1\cm
bottom-margin = 1\cm
left-margin = 3\cm
right-margin = 2\cm
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
#(set-paper-size "11x17")
}

...

\score {
 <<

 ...


  \new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \include "HideBarNumbers.ly" \include "Perc1.ly" }
\new Staff { \include "HideBarNumbers.ly" \include "Perc2.ly" }
\new Staff { \include "HideBarNumbers.ly" \include "Perc3.ly" }
\new Staff { \include "HideBarNumbers.ly" \include "Perc4.ly" }
        \new Staff { \include "HideBarNumbers.ly" \include "Perc5.ly" }
>>
>>
\layout {
  \context {
      \Score
        \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
        \remove "Metronome_mark_engraver"
        \remove "Mark_engraver"
        \remove "Staff_collecting_engraver"
                }

  \context {
      \Staff
        \consists "Bar_number_engraver"
        \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver"
        \consists "Mark_engraver"
        \consists "Staff_collecting_engraver"
        }

%{  \context {
    \Score
      \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'line-break-system-details =
      #'((Y-offset . 0)
         (allignment-distances . (5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5)))
}%}

  \context {
    \Staff
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'default-staff-staff-spacing =
    #'((basic-distance . 5)
    (minimum-distance . 5)
    (padding . 0)
    (stretchability . 0))
  }
}

}
 \version "2.16.0"


I've commented out of the "\layout" a couple of things I've tried that have
not worked -- the staff space still gets stretched and varies from page to
page.

Anyone encountered this? Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,
