Due to technical issues, I doubt that this will happen by default in the 
next few years.  I agree that it would be nice, but it's not an easy 
task to do.

That said, it should be possible to force individual staves to be 
interlocking.  Take a look at the regression tests about page spacing.

This is certainly doable -- I mean, if we can't do this already, that 
would be easy to add.


Han-Wen, how did the solution to
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=35
work?  I mean, is "padding for vertical alignments" a user-tweakable 
property?
