Previously I had been using this code in order to squeeze as much as I could onto one page without being too crowded:\paper { between-system-padding = #1 ragged-bottom=##f ragged-last-bottom=##f }Try reducing between-system even more. In addition, see the 2.9 docs for more tips on keeping music on one page. It's somewhere in chapters 3-5.
One highly relevant parameter to tweak that isn't mentioned in Sect. "5.5 Fitting music onto fewer pages" is between-system-space, which tells the desired center to center distance between the systems. The default valueis 20 mm and at least if you have a single stave score, it often helps to decrease
it to between-system-space = 15\mm You can even set it to zero if you use the settings described above. I'll update the information in the manual. /Mats
