I'm just stating what is implemented now.

Still, it does not make sense to say that ragged-last-bottom should
apply to the last page of a score, for this page could also be the first
page on another score. What you and Graham seem to be requesting is a
way to split a book into several sections, with a page break between
sections, and the last page of a section with ragged-last-bottom.

In the particular case Graham and you are talking about, there would be
exactly one score per section.
