Thanks, Graham, this was helpful.

I didn't like the fact that I need to know the line spacing, so I
continued to try, and I found an even simpler solution:

\newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\vspace{1mm}\linebreak}

For those who might use this, note that LaTeX still will increase the
inter-system space if needed, because it tries to fill the page. But
that's okay, and in fact even what we want if we use lilypond-book. My
"1mm" means that I want *at least* 1mm of empty space between the systems.
