I think the \paper { page-count = 2 } isn't ready yet, but I don't
know, I have never tried it. There is one thing I know works, but it is
kinda fussy, \paper { system-count = "some number here" }. Tweek this
until it is the way you want it. There is also the ragged-bottom,
ragged-last, and ragged-last-bottom variables of the \paper context.
You can fuss with them too.
This brings back the important question of a request I made about 3
months ago, is anyone out there in Lilypond development land making a
\page { systems-per-page = "some number here" }. It can't be that
difficult, seeing that Lilypond already is doing this like a robot. It
would be a matter of just telling the robot what to do, no?
