You normally get one set of Interpreting music... Preprocessing graphical objects... for each \score{...} block in your .ly. My guess is that the "Interpreting music..." without a following "Preprocessing ..." correspond to \score blocks with only MIDI output, i.e. without any \layout block.

Unless you have any cross-stave beams or slurs, the easiest is to just replace PianoStaff by GrandStaff. Actually, the only reason whatsoever to use a PianoStaff is when you have such cross-stave features. If you really want to stick to the PianoStaff, the spacing can be set using: \layout{ \con

Agreed. Best to just use GrandStaff. If you do stick with PianoStaff, 11.3.3 "Controlling spacing of individual systems" gives an alternative approach to reducing vertical space between piano staves, using NonMusicalPaperColumn. Note that 11.3.3 will soon be changing. On 2/16/07, Mats Bengtsson
