I would try something like this if it is that important that you don't get
any compressed measures. First compile with all the ragged-... = ##t so
that you can see where the natural break points are located. Then, follow
Andrew's advice by inserting the manual \break after the measures at the
end of each system.
Not sure if there's a better way than that. Not sure if it even works, but
could be worth a try.
Good luck,
Abraham
