each staff (and therefore each system) on a page-by-page basis (by
means of some reference point, possibly the bottom staffline of each
staff)? Something like:
page 1:
system 3:
staff 2, bottom staffline: 29.92 cm from page-bottom
staff 1, bottom staffline: 26.24 cm from page-bottom
Perhaps absolute positioning might not be the right way to go, but it
would certainly help me vertically fix staves exactly where I want
them on the page. If absolute positioning doesn't fit with the model,
then that's certainly ok; but if we can think of a good, lily-esque
way of adding absolute positioning during the proposed refactoring,
then I'd certainly be interested in helping fund the work.

Of course it's possible, you just have to write loads of Scheme code :-)
I can look into this. Shall I make a combined quote for refactoring the
pagelayout to do both automatic stretching and absolute positioning?
