The system tries to be smart about that, and it seems to work. I could not fool the minimal page breaker with simple music on a frenched score. (The defualt, optimal-breaking, does not impress me with how it chooses breaks just before or after a staff becomes empty on a frenched score.) The weakness of the page-filling system tends to be related to how it ignores the possibility that items from different systems might interleave a bit. \paper { page-breaking = #ly:minimal-breaking ragged-bottom=##t } k = 4 n = 8 m = #(* 3 n) << \repeat unfold \k { \repeat unfold \m {c'4 d' e' f''''} } \new Lyrics \repeat unfold \k { \repeat unfold \m \lyricmode {lo-4 rem ip- sum } } \repeat unfold \k { \repeat unfold \n {c,4 d' e' f'} \repeat unfold \n {R1 R1} } >> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
