I thought I had a clever proposal in replacing the somewhat clumsy

by
\markup \vspace #40
but in the example above it doesn't give the expected effect. I have 
used \vspace successfully in some other situations, but here when it's 
used within a TextScript, I guess that LilyPond considers it as a too 
empty an object to be taken into account.


I had tried \vspace.  I will try to define a text function which takes 
just the number when I have some time with my current project.

Hi Paul,


1. How can I cause an individual page other than the last page of a score to 
have ragged-bottom?

As far as I know, you can’t… To fake that behaviour, I usually just inject an 
appropriately-sized blank markup below the last system I want on a given page 
(attached to anything in that system, e.g., the last BarLine).


Sounds great! I have a separate voice where I put all my breaks and

Hello,

I don't think this is possible.
Personally I would produce 2 different PDFs and then split and merge the
pages as desired.

> 2. How can I change the vertical spacing for a page that uses
raged-bottom?

For a ragged-bottom score the usual variables can be
used: system-system-spacing, top-system-spacing, last-bottom-spacing and
within-system spacing properties.
You could use as well Explicit staff and system positioning, see NR 4.4.2.

Kind regards,
Xavier
