Thank you, Mats,
The #(set-global-staff-size 18) works properly: it didn't work for me
because I put it in the wrong place.
I tried the two pass vertical spacing, but still the staves float, even if
the pages now have a better look.
I think I really have to go through this:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Explicit-staff-and-system-positioning#Explicit-staff-and-system-positioning
It still looks very obscure to me, but I'll study it thoroughly and if I
need some more help I'll write again.
Thanks again,
Andrea
