I don't agree. It's somewhat obscured by the fact that
top-system-spacing has a padding by default; but what about
\version "2.18"
#(set-default-paper-size "a6landscape")
\paper {
top-system-spacing = #'((padding . -inf.0) (minimum-distance . 15))
last-bottom-spacing = #'((padding . -inf.0) (minimum-distance . 15))
}
{
c''''1 \break
c,,1 \pageBreak
c,,1 \break
c''''1
}
(For real use, I recommend to use the a negative padding of something
less than minimum-distance minus 2, to make sure that you accidentally
crop something in extreme conditions.)
