Hello,

I apologise if this is already known/fixed.

This is a based on a 'blank staff' template I use to print out

\version "2.13.35"

\score {
  { 
<<
    \repeat unfold 20 { s1 \break } 
    \repeat unfold 20 { c''1 \break } 
>>
  }
  \layout {
    indent = 0\in
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      \remove "Clef_engraver"
      \remove "Bar_engraver"
    }
    \context {
      \Score
      \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
    }
  }
}

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4")
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  left-margin = 0.5\in
  right-margin = 0.5\in
  bottom-margin = 0.25\in
  top-margin = 0.25\in
}

If I try to compile this specific ly file I get 

---

but the last pair of staves flows off the bottom.

If I remove all the \layout { } then it all fits. This seems odd because the 
layout is actually removing 'stuff' in the first place. So this is counter 
intuitive to me.

Sorry if this is wasting anyone's time.

James
