Ok, I was toying around with these suggestions, and I have a few problems.
When I make the staves smaller, the only way to get the number of systems I
want is to make them too small. When I use
\paper {
between-system-padding = #0.1
between-system-space = #0.1
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
ragged-bottom = ##f
}
from 4.6, the systems are all pushed down to the bottom on the first page.
And when I use
\paper {
system-count = #3
}
from the same page, the first page looks fine, but the rest of the music all
goes onto one system, which goes off the rest of the page. I tried
explicitly stating the \book context, but that seemed to make things worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
