actually, my view about the problem to solve (apart collisions) is not so clear and thus it’s a bit difficult to answer.
Maybe we can discuss that via skype.

This can be achieved somehow if we can control the Height of the system on a page. Playing around with the engine, I don’t seem to be able to control this parameter. Ideally you’d want to control a default staff height where the system would infer from that given a score… .
