I added a \paper block and put in it
between-system-spacing = #'((space . 20) (stretchability . 30))
which I found in the "Vertical Dimensions" section, which I got to
from a link in the "Vertical spacing between systems" sections that
one of you pointed me to. For a while it kept saying
"warning: couldn't fit music on page"
although it did in fact fit the music on the page. The last staff was
right down at the bottom of the page just above the "Music engraving
by LilyPond 2.13.29.......". I fooled around with it for a while and
finally got something that I liked with space = 20 and stretchability
= 30. I'm writing this because that whole process was a matter of
trial and error. The problem is that I have just a vague idea of what
those numbers mean. That leaves me with some questions:
"space is the size of the stretchable space ...." means a lot more
to you guys than it does to a newbie like me. I guess that it's an
upper limit on the amount of space that stretching can give you????
"stretchability controls the stretchable space's propensity to
stretch ....." is this a maximum percentage of the stretchable space
that will actually be used?
Maybe some more snippets would help. I didn't find anything in the
archive that exactly addressed this.
thanks again

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be
"profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I
could care less.
