FWIW I agree that -dshow--available-fonts should write to stdout. Is it typical to use that argument with any other arguments or an input file? (Maybe that should also be disallowed.) On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 10:38 AM, David Kastrup d...@gnu.org wrote: Phil Holmes m...@philholmes.net writes:

Have you read the Manual, for example http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/changing-spacing? I think one option for you would be to play with the ragged-bottom paper block option, or maybe the \noPageBreak command. On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 7:10 PM, Fidler Aoileann
