(I've just rechecked the following with 2.19.49)
My experience with page-count is that all too often it causes LP to
set early pages too slackly, and then overfills the last page.
Here's an example of the logs.
with %%page-count = 6 :
GNU LilyPond 2.19.49

Deleting `/tmp/lilypond-tMciM6'...

Output is just how I want it, on six pages with three systems/page.
