The entire music engraving world -- not just Lilypond, but Finale/Sib/etc. and 
the traditional hand-engravers -- call a single line of music spanning the 
width of a single page a "system", and the entire collection of systems a 
"score".

If Lilypond users are confused because they don't have an understanding of that 
basic and universal terminology, they should read (1) some engraving books, and 
(2) the Lilypond introductory documentation.

Best regards,
Kieren.
