Just to update you on the problem I'd reported earlier, regarding trying to get 
Lilypond to lay a song out on 3 pages, I found a workaround:

In the Lilypond source where this song failed to lay out on 3 pages, that 
song's staff size (16) was smaller than that of the other songs in the cycle. 
Therefore I'd used

#(layout-set-staff-size 16)

in a \layout block of the \score block for that song, together with

\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.8

for each stave in that song. This produced staves and symbols of the correct 
size (16), though the song failed to fit into 3 pages.

I tried a second method: I separated that song and the title page into a 
separate document. I was therefore able to set the staff size globally, using 

#(set-global-staff-size 16)

in a \paper block at top level. Lilypond then successfully laid the song out on 
3 pages.

It seems to me that the former method resizes the symbols and the stave line 
spacing, but not certain parameters that influence the spacing between symbols.
