Well, it's always not enough ))). Thank you and James for showing the right 
places. My expierence with lilypond is half a year and with latex - 3 days. Now 
I've tried \def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1{\vspace{10mm}\linebreak}, but this 
gives a huge gap between section title and the first system. I'm not skilled 
enough to find the reason... Also it wouldn't behave well if I have one score 
with different system count on each page. So, if any good working examples 
exist on this matter, I'd be glad to see them.

It's a pity that even if I move out of the paper{} block and use manual spaces 
like 
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"  
#'line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 40)       
(alignment-distances . (40)))
inside my score, this also doesn't work in lilypond-book.

For now, I've found a workaround - I can use \includepdf in TeX at least for 
pages where I don't need any text except title. Thus, all the lilypond 
flexbility in making good vertical spaces (both manual and automatic) will be 
accessible. For other pages, where text and scores are combined, I'll use 
lilypond-book and try to understand TeX macroses better to achieve the perfect 
result that I wanted.
