Hi Patrick, sure, this would be a workaround, but one can hardly call it a solution... Actually. it doesn't change the fact that there >is< enough space to fit both systems on one page, even with the larger page-top-space. But for some unknown reason Lilypond decides differently. However, as Rei

Hi Reinhold, You might try to comment out (or at least reduce) these 10% of reserved space and see if you run into any staff collisions (which I don't think should happen, but then I haven't dug deep enought for this staff!). I removed the additional "security space" completely for testing, b
