I have a \book in which one of the scores is only three staves long.
These got spread across the page, of course, and I wanted to have a
more normal spacing. Rummaging around in the archives brought up the
raggedbottom and raggedlastbottom concepts. I tried both of these,
both in \paper and \layout, both true and false -- nothing. I got
what I wanted by a rather ugly hack which took a lot of research time:
b4. c8 f,2 g2 c2. ~ c2 \bar ":|" % end of piece
\stopStaff
\override Staff.Clef #'transparent = ##t
\override Staff.KeySignature #'transparent = ##t
\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #all-invisible
s1*200 %lots of padding
Isn't there a more elegant way? And what's the meaning of the ragged
bits if they don't do anything in this situation?
You didn't tell us what version you are running. I believe there have
been times when raggedbottom hasn't been correct. I just tested a 3
line example (with 'raggedbottom = ##t' in the paper block) with 2.7.33
and it worked perfectly. I have also found in the past that if there
are other errors in your code (Lilypond input) raggedbottom gives
undesired results.
