Re: page breaks related to header size

[Jeff Elliott]

I also have (just last night) had a similar vertical spacing problem  
(2.11.34).
I had a piece covering two pages, the majority on the first page, and  
the page break was where
I wanted it.  Then I change a bit of the spacing of a text markup  
(extra-offset) and I lost one of the
systems on the first page.  I thought, no problem I'll just adjust  
some of the parameters ( like
between-system-padding, between-system-space).  But I couldn't get  
the last system (or sometimes
last two systems), back onto the first page.  I could get the systems  
to be closer together,
but that would just leave even more space at the bottom of the page  
(more than enough space
for one if not two systems).  I adjusted the top margin to something  
like 1mm and I got my
system back, but the systems were way more spaced out than they  
needed to be, and the small
margin at the top was too small.  I ended up with finding a different  
place to break the pages.

Maybe I should note that each system contained a ChordNames, one  
regular Staff, and another
"special" Staff which had a linecount of 0.  I had wondered if that  
last Staff might be confusing
the vertical spacing.
