Hi again, sorry for the noise (although it might have triggered some thoughts that may prove useful down the road), but I have just found a pretty simple solution for your case:
{
\omit Score.SystemStartBar
\override Staff.StaffSymbol.Y-extent = #'(-5 . 15)
c'1
}
will make LilyPond believe that the Staff has an extent of 5 staff spaces below
and 15 above the middle line, and so the middle line will always have a
distance from the top margin of *at least* 15 staff spaces.
I have just tested with this .tex file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[insert=inline,inline-staffsize=20]{lyluatex}
\begin{document}
\begin{lilypond}[insert=inline]
{
\omit Score.SystemStartBar
\override Staff.StaffSymbol.Y-extent = #'(-5 . 20)
c''1
}
\end{lilypond}
\begin{lilypond}[insert=inline]
{
\omit Score.SystemStartBar
\override Staff.StaffSymbol.Y-extent = #'(-5 . 20)
g'''1
}
\end{lilypond}
\begin{lilypond}[insert=inline]
{
\omit Score.SystemStartBar
\override Staff.StaffSymbol.Y-extent = #'(-5 . 20)
c'''1
}
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
and got the attached result. I'm sure one can wrap this in a usable solution
for your use case.
