Hi David,

It’s not *quite* that simple, I think…

Using

\paper {
 ragged-right = ##t
 indent = 0
 system-system-spacing.padding = 2
 bottom-margin = 1\in
}

we see that most of the margin is kept, but there are still system-system 
collisions (cf. m 120). So systems are placed lower, yes, but with some 
awareness.

Maybe if you save the original Y-position, and then explicitly “reset” it 
afterwards, it will eliminate this problem? Still doesn’t explain what’s 
actually going on — which would be nice to know — but might fix this function.

Cheers,
Kieren.
