Description
Your idea
Group systems so they show up on the same page.
Problem to be solved
I really appreciate the ability to group measures together on the same system, but sometimes the spacing engine will be a bit too conservative and push a particular system to the next page when I really don't want it to. It would be great if there was a similar function for whole systems that would keep them together on the same page rather than reflowing because of calculated vertical collisions.

Research direction
The issue describes a page-layout feature for keeping selected systems together despite calculated vertical collisions. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first locate the spacing and system-reflow code, then review existing measure-grouping behavior. Done means grouped systems remain on one page without unwanted reflow.
