Staves as footnotes, and some random layout issues. |

I'm trying to typeset a rather complicated manuscript and I've run into two
brick walls right at the end of the process. The first is that I can't for
the life of me figure out how lilypond does staff fragments for manuscript
annotation. If you look at the bottom of the first page of the following PDF,
you can see what I mean:
https://github.com/Abhayakara/music/blob/master/romanza.pdf?raw=true
I attached the two staff fragments to the bottom of an existing system because
I can't think of any other way to place them where I want on the page. This
sort of works, but it comes with two problems. First, they're too close to
the system above, and so the spacing is all wrong on the page. And second,
they're the wrong size, and I can't see how to scale them.
The source code is here:

Oh, I guess a third problem with these fragments is that it would be nice to
eliminate the treble clef, but I have a feeling that's an easier problem to
solve, so it's not the one I'm focusing on. Any clues would be appreciated.
Oh, and of course it would also be nice if the a) and b) could be to the left
of the staff fragment rather than above it, but again I suspect that this would
be tractable if I had a better idea of how to do the actual layout.
