Greetings Ahanu, What happens if you set the systems-per-page variable to 10 instead of using system-count = 20? Does the music then spill over onto a third page? Just from experience, it seems that 48 sixteenth-notes per line would get rather cramped, no? I usually use 32-40 16ths per line as my guide.
