Hi,

it's a bit clumsy, but there's a workaround: (Untested for a while, but it used to work back when the vertical spacing variables had other names. You might have to fiddle a bit there.) In the \paper block, set 'last-bottom-spacing to a ridiculously large negative 'padding (like -100 staff units) and a fixed positive 'minimum-distance.

Then, the vertical extent of whatever belongs to the bottom-most staff is essentially ignored for vertical spacing because of the 'padding; 'minimum-distance sets the distance from the top of the footer area to the middle staff line of the last staff. Thus, you effectively get the last staff at the same position on all pages, regardless of the footer. If you want the staff to move, but the note with the lowest vertical extent to be in the same position, you can try to use 'padding and 'basic-distance instead.

I hope this makes sense to you. If not, come back to me; I can dig out an example of the whole stuff as soon as I'm in front of my private machine again.


Best,
Alexander
