Thankyou very much! The \override Voice.Glissando #'style = #'zigzag
worked perfectly.

However, applying "\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 4)" and
trying various values for the things between the brackets changed
nothing - still same spacing. I am using version 2.4.2. I cannot find
a reference to raggedbottom or raggedlastbottom in
"http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vertical-spacing.html#Vertical-spacing";


You're close. It's in 7.5.11 Page layout <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

. Im taking a guess here, but could the reason why \set
Staff.minimumVertical Extent isn't working because I have only one
staff (one instrument, a Trumpet), and this variable is designed to
change spacing between different instruments?


I think it's because the defaults for raggedbottom and/or raggedlastbottom are true. Try setting them to false in different combinations. An attempt to spread the music neatly over one or more pages was introduced recently. It works fairly well but it's not perfect yet.

Thankyou for all your help and prompt response to this n00b,


You're welcome.
