Your more stretchable last-bottom space should probably be the default. I made it only a little stretchable, worrying that people would complain if ragged-bottom = ##f did not give a perfectly even bottom. Nobody complained. I thought somebody complained if the top staff position varied between pages, but I cannot find it now. The reason that most of the stretchability on a page is between systems is to make obvious how many systems there are on a frenched large-ensemble score, where there might be only one system on the first page, but two or three on later pages when some instruments drop out temporarily. There is room for improvement in the defaults. Sadly, I have completely forgotten how vertical spacing works, so I can't change the defaults any more. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
