You may overrule the pmx stretching and get controll over the spacing
*between* systems by combining the \interstaff method and the mtx
'space' preamble clause (or the corresponding \setinterinstrument and
\staffbotmarg statements) with the below TeX statements (an advice I
once got from Werner). You should adapt the \Interligne factors to your
needs. I use that method in almost all of my scores published at the GMD
archive.
