Erik -
Thanks for the response. I do Windows, so lag the versions.
Since starting this thread, I've discovered a way that works, tediously, in
2.4.3, by setting in a global \paper block:
betweensystempadding = -.10\in % negative
betweensystemspace = 0.90\in % less than 1.0, by trial
Then in a \layout block within each \score, stretching vertical distances
with:
\context { \Staff minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-7.4 . 7.4) } % arguments by
trial
Don't analytically understand how these parameters interact to provide what
control.

When you can upgrade to 2.5 or 2.6 someday, it's possible to use a
combination
of \pageBreak and \header {breakbefore=##t } to fully control page breaks.
You can experiment with
\override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #0.7
(where 0.7 is a value which you find by experimenting), to get the right
number of systems per page.
