Hi Werner,

Would the line-break-system-details attribute of the
NonMusicalPaperColumn abstract grob be helpful? You have to set by
hand for each new system, but the systems stay *exactly* where you put
them vertically.

There's a bit in the NEWS section that talks about positioning
individual systems manually, with this sample usage:

      \overrideProperty
      #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
      #'line-break-system-details
      #'((Y-offset . 24.5)
         (X-offset . -7.5))

HTH.
