The story starts with my old bugbear: the PMX "benign bug" which distributes
free vertical space everywhere. In particular, it spreads the staves within
a system further apart rather than doing what I would prefer: put all free
vertical space between systems. Of course, it is not really a PMX bug: it
is standard TeX behaviour when you get to the end of a page.
I now have a solution, so obvious that it must have appeared on this list
before, and I apologise in advance to whoever has already pointed it out.
(BTW: searching the list archives is a tough job. You either have to know
in which month a contribution appeared or download the full list archive.)
The definition of \alaligne in musixtex.tex reads:
\def\alaligne{\stoppiece\contpiece}
Change this to
\def\alaligne{\stoppiece\vfill\contpiece}
and the free vertical space goes between the staves.
