squeezing a page

Hello all: I have a piece that spans seven printed pages, and I wish it was six. There are just four meagre measures on that last page and I wish I could persuade Lilypond to squeeze one more line onto the sixth page, as it did on the fifth page. I've looked at some of the vertical spacing control

Hello all: I wonder if the "system" entry in the glossary might be enhanced by including the lilypond-specific definition. Currently it reads like this: "The collection of staves (staff), two or more, as used for writing down keyboard, chamber, choral, or orchestral music; a section of the score

Hello all: How can I set a minimum measure size? I want to make some scratch engravings of piano music with lots of room in blank upper or lower staves so I can pencil in my choices as I work them out. But some of the measures have only a couple of notes recorded, so they shrink too small to write

Thanks, but I'm not sure I completely understand. What you're saying is that if you don't define a voice immediately, you still get one, but its name is nothing ("")? So in my multi-voice segment I can explicitly reference the voice-with-no-name as you are showing with the \voices construct? That m

Hello all: Is there a way to get the Lilypond MIDI playback to just use whatever instrument my keyboard is switched to? There are multiple piano sounds and Lilypond always wants to use the one I like least. Not a big deal obviously, but I haven't been able to restrain it, and that makes me questi
