Flexible spacing is much better, although difficult to grasp initially. > Sometimes we do want fixed vertical spacing of the music on the page; we can > make the 'minimum-distance as big as 'basic-distance, in all the spacing > settings, but that user-interface is difficult. Yes. > Maybe ragged-bottom=##t should continue to always under-fill pages, as it > does now? It may be useful as a speed-up aid during the data-entry/checking phase in longer pieces, but I don't know what the time saving would be.
