Yes, Lilypond wastes 10% of the vertical space on each page. You have 98 left, but lilypond reserves a little less than 20 units for possible rounding errors when calculating the staff spacings (yes, I agree, that's insane!). So lilypond thinks there is only ~80 staff spaces left, while the second system needs 90. This came up a while ago on the -devel list: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-06/msg00145.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-06/msg00329.html You might try to comment out (or at least reduce) these 10% of reserved space and see if you run into any staff collisions (which I don't think should happen, but then I haven't dug deep enought for this staff!).
