+@node Fitting music onto fewer pages
+@section Fitting music onto fewer pages
+
+Sometimes you can end up with one or two staves on a second
+(or third, or fourth...) page. This is annoying, especially
+if you look at previous pages and it looks like there is plenty
+of room left on those.
+
+When investigating layout issues, @code{annotate-spacing} is
+an invaluable tool. This command prints the values of various
+layout spacing commands; see @ref{Displaying spacing} for more
+details. From the output of @code{annotate-spacing}, we can
+see which margins we may wish to alter.
+
+Other than margins, there are a few other options to save space:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+You may tell LilyPond to place systems as close together as
+possible (to fit as many systems as possible onto a page), but
+then to space those systems out so that there is no blank
+space at the bottom of the page.
+
+@example
+\paper @{
+between-system-padding = #0.1
+between-system-space = #0.1
+ragged-last-bottom = ##f
+ragged-bottom = ##f
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+You may force the number of systems (i.e., if LilyPond wants
+to typeset some music with 11 systems, you could force it to
+use 10).
+
+@example
+\paper @{
+system-count = #10
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+Avoid (or reduce) objects which increase the vertical size of
+a system. For example, volta repeats (or alternate repeats)
+require extra space. If these repeats are spread over two
+systems, they will take up more space than one system with
+the volta repeats and another system without.
+
+Another example is moving dynamics which @q{stick out} of
+a system.

+
+LilyPond can perform extra checks while it processes files. These
