Hi Pierre! Have you tried with the development version (currently 2.13.21)? The vertical spacing system has been completely changed (improved) and I managed to obtain "a pdf as small as possible with just the tablature on 1 page" quite easily by simply changing the "paper-height" value of your file. If you do so please have a look at the new documentation (2.13), since the syntax for most of the vertical spacing variables has changed : http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/vertical-spacing#Vertical-spacing For example, in your case, "between-system-padding" no longer exists and you should replace it by something like between-system-spacing = #'((padding . 2)) % dimension is "staff-spaces" OFF-TOPIC Since you seems to be French, did you know that there is also a LilyPond French Users mailing-list where you can discuss and get some help in French ?
