Here's another possible solution. ;-)

I don't see the solution, however. Why do you want a \pageBreak at this place? Is there a special reason? This is really what makes LilyPond feel uncomfortable... I did a \paper { annotate-spacing = ##t } to see what happened. Actually the space between your systems is far greater than both "space" and "minimum-distance" in your 3 first pages (because of your \pageBreak at measure 60) but are "normal" for the 4th page. Instead of increasing the value of between-system-spacing #'padding, you'd better increaser either "space", either "minimum-space" (or both) so you won't encounter these gaps at the bottom of the page. Additionally, this is what they are intended for. between-system-spacing = #'((space . 16) (minimum-distance . 12) (padding . 1)) %% default values (2.13.19): space: 12, minimum-distance: 8, padding: 1.
