I've attached a file that worked for me.

I set minimum distance = basic-distance, stretchability = 0, and padding
to a big negative number.  As you can see when you run the code, the first
2 pages have 5 systems, all of which lie at the same positions, even
though note heads collide.

You may need to do the same thing within the systems; I haven't done that
here.

HTH,

Carl
