Subject: page-limit-inter-system-space

In a multi-movement piece with each movement starting on a new page it happens 
by default that if one movement is very short it will be spread out to fill the 
page. This can be difficult to read as the systems are so far apart. I would 
like to tell LilyPond to limit the space between systems to avoid this (leaving 
blank space below the movement).
I've come across page-limit-inter-system-space but can't find the documentation 
for it.
I've been testing various values in the following code without success.

8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><

\version "2.20.0"
music = {\repeat unfold 30 c'' }
\paper {
         page-limit-inter-system-space = ##t
         page-limit-inter-system-space-factor = #0.2
       }
\score {
        \music
}
\pageBreak
\score {
        \music     
}

8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><

Can someone suggest how to make these two movements look the same on the page?
