Thanks for your reply James. The trouble is the issue dosen't appear without the whole score. My problem was that the last but one page had space at the bottom of the page for another line of score but this had been shunted onto a new page. When I tried to control matters with \pageBreak or \pageTurn I enterd the problem of herding cats as far as the page layouts was concerned. After much puzzlement I finally got some sense by using only \pageTurn in the music files. Is there any way of changing spacing between lines of music at arbitray places in the music data. I seem to be stuck with setting spacing globally for all movememnts. By the way I have found that changing "padding" is the easiest way to control the vertical spacing - but would like to do it "on the fly" as it where.

I have included the example in the attached file which I hope does not contain too much unnecessary data. I would welcome helpful advice on presenting such information to the list. regards Peter Gentry <Last page spacing issue.xml>____________________________________ Out of curiosity, I decided to see what was in the file, yeah, I'm avoiding work I should be doing. I'd say this looks like a debug report, for some reason sent as an .xml file created by microsoft word so as to make it readable across systems. It even includes an image of what the output is. The code included will not compile as-is. If you include code, even in an attached file, please make sure that it can compile on its own, independent of any other settings. Ideally, the code would contain just enough information to make the problem apparent. This goes under the heading, Creating <http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/web/tiny-examples> Tiny Examples. (Note the bit that says you should include which version you're using.) In this case, you would need a file that includes enough information to show that the music is on two pages. Or at the very least, what overrides you've set to try and reduce the number of pages. The best I can make of this is this: \paper { annotate-spacing = ##t two-sided = ##t top-margin = 10\mm bottom-margin = 10\mm inner-margin = 20 \mm outer-margin = 15 \mm binding-offset = 5 \mm first-page-number = #1 blank-after-score-page-force = #100 % no change in output whatever value is specified here page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking ragged-bottom = ##t indent = 5\mm print-page-number = ##t print-first-page-number = ##f oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \null evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \null oddFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \null \fontsize #2 \fromproperty #'header:mycustomtext \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fontsize #2 \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } % end of fill line } % end of markup block evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup } % end of paper block \score { { \mark \default d''8 \f [ bes'8 bes'8 bes'8 ] c''8 [ bes'8 d''8 bes'8 ] | % 236 ees''8 [ g''8 ees''8 c''8 ] d''8 [ c''8 e''8 c''8 ] | % 237 f''8 [ c''8 a''8 f''8 ] g''8 [ f''8 a''8 f''8 ] | % 238 bes''8 [ f''8 bes''8 f''8 ] c''8 [ f''8 d''8 f''8 ] | % 239 ees''4 r4 r2 | % 240 f''2 \p ( e''4 ees''4 ) | % 241 d''4 r4 r2 | % 242 r8 f''8 [ f''8 f''8 ] f''8 [ ees''8 d''8 c''8 ] | % 243 bes''8 r4. r2 | % 244 f'2 ( e'4 ees'4 | % 245 d'4 ) r4 r2 | % 246 r8 f''8 [ f''8 f''8 ] f''8 [ ees''8 d''8 c''8 ] | % 247 bes'4 r4 r2 | % 248 f''2 ( e''4 ees''4 ) | % 249 d''4 r4 r2 | % 250 d''2 ( des''4 c''4 ) | % 251 bes'4 r4 r2 | % 252 r8 f''8 \pp [ f''8 f''8 ] g''8 [ f''8 a''8 f''8 ] | % 253 bes''4 r4 r2 \bar "|." } } I don't know if this truly is what you were hoping to show, but this is the best I could make of it.
