Thank you. I take it that's the same as setting
keep-fixed-while-stretching. The white space between systems is better
than inside them, in this case, even if we have to end up with single systems
on a page. I don't think there's a better option without having a special
way to space lyrics that are being read by more than one staff.

In fact, I think that having ChoirStaff
fixed while others are not is demonstrated in
Nicolas Sceaux's example here:

All the choir staves are evenly spaced while the bass staff (not a vocal
part) is lower. It looks the rest of the system is spaced differently
above.
It also doesn't have a big funky white space like in
untweaked LP 2.11 with stretched systems:
