Speak of the Devil... :-) Today I wrote a piece of music that demonstrates this behaviour. However, this time I cannot get one system on a previous page even if I set the padding to zero (or to a small negative value – tried -5 mm). The first page is also a bit liberally spaced but the second page is the one with real problems. There's a huge gap between the last system and the end of the page. If you have look at the first system on the third page, you notice that it should fit there quite easily. If I interpreted the spacing annotations correctly there's 58.44 mm space left and the Y-extent of the system in question is just 36.04 mm. The extent-estimate is a bit bigger: 42.36 mm but that should also be OK by me. Any tips? If I try to create a minimal example the effect most likely disappears. I probably must try to do that, though. -Risto
