Hi Fabio.

I had this exact same problem.  Here's how I overcame it (with a 
part-extraction for the violin):

violinSolo = \new Staff \with {

   instrumentName = "Vl."

   midiInstrument = "violin"

   fontSize = #-4

  % Reduce stem length and line spacing to match

   \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -4)

} \violin


violinPart = \new Staff \with {

   instrumentName = "Vl."

  midiInstrument = "violin"

} \violin

pianoPart = \new PianoStaff \with {

   instrumentName = "Pno."

} <<

   \new Staff = "right" \with {

  midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"

  } \right
  \new Staff = "left" \with {

    midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"

  } { \clef bass \left }

    \context Staff = left \bassline
>>


#(set-default-paper-size "a4")

\score {
  <<

    \violinSolo

    \pianoPart

   >>

   \layout {}

   \midi {}

}

% \pageBreak

\score {
  <<

    \violinPart

  >>

  \layout {}

}
