I cannot suppress a page break which looks unnecessary - what am I doing wrong?.

I have included the example in the attached file which I hope does not contain too much unnecessary data.

I would welcome helpful advice on presenting such information to the list.

Out of curiosity, I decided to see what was in the file, yeah, I'm avoiding work I should be doing…

I'd say this looks like a debug report, for some reason sent as an .xml file created by microsoft word so as to make it readable across systems. It even includes an image of what the output is. 

The code included will not compile as-is. If you include code, even in an attached file, please make sure that it can compile on its own, independent of any other settings. Ideally, the code would contain just enough information to make the problem apparent. This goes under the heading, Creating Tiny Examples. (Note the bit that says you should include which version you're using.) 

In this case, you would need a file that includes enough information to show that the music is on two pages. Or at the very least, what overrides you've set to try and reduce the number of pages. 

The best I can make of this is this:

\paper {

annotate-spacing = ##t

two-sided = ##t

top-margin = 10\mm

bottom-margin = 10\mm 

inner-margin = 20 \mm

outer-margin = 15 \mm

binding-offset = 5 \mm

first-page-number = #1

blank-after-score-page-force = #100 % no change in output whatever value is specified here

page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking 

ragged-bottom = ##t 

indent = 5\mm

print-page-number = ##t

print-first-page-number = ##f

oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \null

evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \null

oddFooterMarkup = \markup {

\fill-line {

\null \fontsize #2 \fromproperty #'header:mycustomtext 

\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first

\fontsize #2 \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string

} % end of fill line 

} % end of markup block

evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup

} % end of paper block

\score {

   {

      \mark \default d''8 \f [ bes'8 bes'8 bes'8 ] c''8 [ bes'8 d''8 bes'8 ] | % 236

      ees''8 [ g''8 ees''8 c''8 ] d''8 [ c''8 e''8 c''8 ] | % 237

      f''8 [ c''8 a''8 f''8 ] g''8 [ f''8 a''8 f''8 ] | % 238

      bes''8 [ f''8 bes''8 f''8 ] c''8 [ f''8 d''8 f''8 ] | % 239

      ees''4 r4 r2 | % 240

      f''2 \p ( e''4 ees''4 ) | % 241

      d''4 r4 r2 | % 242

      r8 f''8 [ f''8 f''8 ] f''8 [ ees''8 d''8 c''8 ] | % 243

      bes''8 r4. r2 | % 244

      f'2 ( e'4 ees'4 | % 245

      d'4 ) r4 r2 | % 246

      r8 f''8 [ f''8 f''8 ] f''8 [ ees''8 d''8 c''8 ] | % 247

      bes'4 r4 r2 | % 248

      f''2 ( e''4 ees''4 ) | % 249

      d''4 r4 r2 | % 250

      d''2 ( des''4 c''4 ) | % 251

      bes'4 r4 r2 | % 252

      r8 f''8 \pp [ f''8 f''8 ] g''8 [ f''8 a''8 f''8 ] | % 253

      bes''4 r4 r2 \bar "|."

   }

}

I don't know if this truly is what you were hoping to show, but this is the best I could make of it.
