Re: squeezing a page

[Jakob Pedersen]

    Hi Tom
    
    The documentation provides different methods to fit music on fewer
    pages:
https://lilypond.org/doc/Documentation/notation/fitting-music-onto-fewer-pages
    
    Adding page-count = 6 to your /paper
    block is probably the easiest option.
    
    Best wishes,
    Jakob

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 controls, and so far my attempts to use them seem to make things look worse. Can anyone share some general tips for the order of things to try to do some gentle squeezing?

Thank you,
