Hello,

An étude I'm typesetting needs to fit on 2 pages with reasonable vertical
space. Normally, I'd just set system-count in \paper (in this case, 20
systems in 2 US letter pages), but this time it says "warning: cannot find
line breaking that satisfies constraints" and just runs off the page. If I
don't set system-count, it gives me 25 cramped systems on 2 pages.

The piece is almost entirely sixteenth notes in 4/4. Some systems fill with
3 bars, others with 2, and I can't figure out why. Ideally, most would have
3 bars, but manual line breaks won't fix it. I've checked for rhythmic
errors (every measure has a barcheck) and didn't find any. I don't want to
decrease the font size.

Unfortunately, I can't come up with a tiny example to demonstrate this
behaviour. If anyone has suggestions or someone would be willing to look
over my file, I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers,
-Ahanu
