But I feel that this is a bigger issue. Generally the issue here is that systems-per-page only cares about systems of music and not about anything else that may be placed on the page, as one can see here:
\paper {
systems-per-page = #16
}
\markup\column { a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a }
{ \repeat unfold 32 { R1\break }}
I suppose in such cases it might be necessary to either estimate an
approximate system equivalent of the non system stuff on the page, or
alternatively calculate the reduction of paper height due to non system stuff
and scale down systems-per-page in such a manner, e.g. if systems-per-page is
4, but a markup such as the header takes up say 20% of the pages then the
value should be corrected to 4*4/5 = 3.2 ~ 3 instead.
Cheers,
Valentin
