Hi,first on a technical note: Many do not use the Nabble interface and they can’t see to which old thread you are replying. It’s more helpful to just open a new one.

I see this problem as well. The log message is: warning: compressing over-full page by 31.9 staff-spaces warning: page 5 has been compressed This generates one system at the top of page 5 with signs of compression in the lowest staff, then leaves a huge empty space, then a highly compressed system at the bottom of the page. I have tried setting "ragged-last-bottom = ##f" and "max-systems-per-page = 2" to no effect (lilypond is only writing 2 systems to the page after all). As this only happens on page 5 of an 11-page score, a short example is impossible (for me at any rate). Pages 1-4 and 6-11 are fine. The lilypond 12.14.0 file was generated by Rosegarden 15.12 on Linux Mint 18. Compression is less if "set-global-staff-size 18" is reduced to 13.
The problem doesn’t ring any bell with me, at least with the empty space you are referring to. You could try inserting the following line into your LilyPond file to enable visualisation of the ‘skylines’ LilyPond uses for spacing:
#(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines #t)and report back if that gives any hint, maybe as to what grob is causing the empty space. Else it’s not possible to say anything without looking at the actual code. Either you have another go at creating a minimal example, e.g. by successively replacing music with spacer rests, or using explicit page breaks, or \repeat constructs. Or you send over the whole file, privately to me if necessary.
Best, Simon
