All,
Sometimes Lilypond changes how it does its "Fitting music on ..."
calculations when it decides what can fit on a page and what cannot.
In this case, after four pages on which the "fitting" process puts two
systems per page, the subsequent pages *all* have only one system per
page--even though there is no change in number of staves -- still
seven (SATB plus organ). The links below to the Lilypond code and
resulting PDF show what I mean. Now, I know I can fiddle with the
margins and likely get Lilypond to fit two systems per page
throughout, but this just seems so odd. Why can two seven-stave
systems work for four pages but not for all remaining pages?
Perhaps something requires more padding on the last systems?

Well, this doesn’t show what you describe, but two systems per page.

Verbose logging provides no guidance as, well, there's technically
been no error. In order to get two systems per page through out, I
have to set-global-staff-size to 14 and decrease all margins thus:
top-margin = 1.0\in
bottom-margin = .75\in
right-margin = 1.0\in
left-margin = 1.0\in
Which is, well, odd. To me at least.
Resolving this can be difficult in cases.
Try
\paper {
min-systems-per-page = 2
% or also
% page-count = x
}
in order to force lily to do what you want. It might result in illicit
compression, though. You’ll have to see.
