Comment #3 on issue 1680 by address@hidden: Vertical spacing  
stretchability affects compressibility
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1680

Fixed with commit 3656d85.

One recent thread,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-05/msg00332.html
made me worry that some people depend on stretchability=0 to prevent  
compression.
However, when I tried the overrides suggested there with music to fill a  
few pages, the staves were compressed, either with our without this patch.

The simple way to have fixed vertical spacing always worked :
\paper {
   system-system-spacing = #'((minimum-distance . 20))
   top-system-spacing = #'( (minimum-distance . 10))
}

\layout { \context { \Score
  \override VerticalAxisGroup
     #'staff-staff-spacing = #'((minimum-distance . 15))
} }
