I would imagine the problem is the same one that I mentioned above in the thread. Calling ly:grob-extent to determine the printed width of the staff causes side-effects. I'm sorry, but I don't know of any way to determine the staff width without running into this problem. It would be relatively easy to alter the function make-page-stencil in scm/page.scm to do what you want. The stencils of the individual systems are already made at this point, and it's just a matter of moving them around to your liking. Unfortunately, this requires a change to program files. I've had no luck copy/pasting code from that file into the LY file. It will be a lot--if it can even be done--because so much of it is non-public. Did you get a good result with the markup-based solutions?
