I had similar problems with my one of my own scores having varying number of
staves per system. The solution - also invented by Werner - was to redefine
\interstaff before each new \input statement:
\let\interstaffSAV\interstaff
\def\restoreALL{
\let\interstaff\interstaffSAV
\grouptop10\groupbottom1\maxdimen
\grouptop20\groupbottom2\maxdimen
}
% Julesang
\restoreALL\input lars
%
% Aaret
\restoreALL\input sar
%
% Ivente Julenat
\restoreALL\input jaeg
%
% Miraklet
\restoreALL\input mon
%
% Vinterens tunnel
\restoreALL\input sor
%
\endmuflexsav
\bye
