Hello,
some remarks:
1. Are you aware that it’s illegal what you’re doing? All of the works
of Shostakovich are under copyright (almost?) everywhere on the world,
see the note on <http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Shostakovich,_Dmitry>.
So there is little point in typesetting his music, unless you intend to
wait with publication until 2026 (Canada), 2046 (EU), and so on (matters
are very complicated in the US). And posting examples on this list
(which means publishing for what I know) is touchy at least, since
depending on the size of the example it may be considered fair use or not.
2. On your actual question: just go on typesetting (if you consider it
useful…) and probably things will turn out properly on their own. With
short scores like this, there often is no really good solution for
breaking: it’s too much for one page, but too little for two pages.
3. If the problem should persist nevertheless, have a look at
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/fitting-music-onto-fewer-pages>.
Best regards, Simon

Hello,
I recently started to typeset Shostakovich's first violin concerto and i
entered the first 7 bars into lilypond, only to find that the notes have
been spaced at some comically large space, rather than compressing into a
readable size.
If the score was to continue at this rate then reading the score while
listening to the piece would turn into a page-turning speed test!
Is there anyway to tell lilypond to just take up less room? (see score and
.ly attachments below)
Thanks, Nick.
