Hello David, hello Tom,
using page-count does theoretically work, but it can produce non optimal
results, as it will at some point simply start to compress the last page.
E.g. in this case page count still works fine:
\paper {
page-count = 3
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
indent = 0\cm
}
{

to add to that: The spacing considerations for music are enormously
Ah, you're saying that if I'd read past the "vertical spacing" and
"horizontal spacing" sections I'd have found the section titled to fit my
question and be a happier guy? Thank you for that.

Hi Tom
The documentation provides different methods to fit music on fewer
pages:

Adding page-count = 6 to your /paper block is probably the easiest option.
Best wishes,
Jakob

Hello all:
I have a piece that spans seven printed pages, and I wish it was six. There
are just four meagre measures on that last page and I wish I could persuade
Lilypond to squeeze one more line onto the sixth page, as it did on the
fifth page. I've looked at some of the vertical spacing
