And also for pointing out page-count. That does seem easiest and in fact it worked. I always like it best when I can tell the computer, "you're a computer, figure it out".
to add to that: The spacing considerations for music are enormously complex, and while LilyPond aims to just “figure it out” by itself, often it can help to give it more constraints/hints.
Namely, a combination of page-count, system-count and systems-per-page (or min-systems-per-page/max-systems-per-page) can yield better results than specifying only one of these (even if it’s technically redundant), along with sometimes significantly reducing compilation time.
And, if all that fails, adding manual breaks or even forcing _only_ manual breaks can be necessary.
Best, Simon
