I made a toy.  You all may play with my toy, if you tell me what values for the 
stretchabilities make professional-looking scores.


\version "2.13.37"

  % To reduce excessive stretching of systems, especially with one system per 
page
  % increase stretchability. Other parameters left at -.37 defaults
  %  (stretchability was 5 staff-spaces)
  last-bottom-spacing = #'((space . 1) (padding . 1) (minimum-distance . 0) 
(stretchability . 200))
  %  (stretchability was unset: docs infer that it defaults to space; not 
confirmed)
  system-system-spacing = #'((space . 12) (minimum-distance . 8) (padding . 1) 
(stretchability . 800))
}

m = { \repeat unfold 40 c''1 \repeat unfold 90 s1}
o = { \repeat unfold 130 c''1 }
\score {
