Well, then delete \version "2.10.33" in your code.

I think you have to admit that it simply doesn't fit on a single A4 page.
You can either change page dimension or try something like :
\paper {
indent = 0
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
ragged-bottom = ##f
system-count = 21
page-count = 2
}
to get it on two pages.

Absolutely, wrong version.
for v2.14 use :
\override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
