From the names of the variables I would expect setting both of them to true to give simple and minimal (old style) spacing (ragged bottoms) and setting raggedbottom to false to try to fill the page evenly (new smart style).



that is true; apparently, for the cited example, the systems are just
a tad too large to fit on a single page.


Here's an example (2.3.23) that should fit on one page but takes two.

\version "2.3.22"
\include "english.ly"

#(set-default-paper-size "letter")
\paper{
   raggedbottom = ##t
   raggedlastbottom = ##t
}

\header{
   dedication = "To the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp"
   title = "Blue Lake"
   subtitle = "Overture for Concert Band"
   composer = "John Barnes Chance"
}

global = {
   \time 3/4 s4*3*18 \bar "||"
}

i = \relative c'' { g4 g4. e8 e4 g g4. d8 d4 }
cliia = \relative c' {
   r4 b2~_\markup{ \dynamic pp \italic subito } b8 r b2~
   b8 r cs2~cs8 r b2~b8 r c2~c8 r c2~c8 r bf2~bf8 r r4 r
}
cliib = \relative c' {
   R4*3*7 << { R4*3*2 } { s4*3*2_\markup\italic{ rall. } } >>
   r2 r4\fermata \time 4/4 R1*3^\markup\large\bold{ Tempo I }
   r8 c16\ff( ef bf'8) g( f' d) a'->( c) R1
   r8 f,,,16\ff( af ef'8) c( bf' g) f'->( d) R1*2
}
i = \relative c' { c4 c4. c8 c4 c b4. b8 b4 }

\score {
   <<
       \set Score.skipBars = ##t
   \new Staff << \global { \cliia \cliib } >>
   >>
}
