Hi,

Is there a way to add some padding between the last system of the page and the footer? I have the copyright in the end of the 1st page. There doesn't seem to be a suitable spacing option in the \paper variables. There used to be a "foot-separator" in 2.11 but since then the spacing has changed a lot.

I can (usually) adjust the spacing with system-system-spacing to leave some space but then the following pages might be cramped. I also must set ragged-bottom to #f to do that—not always desirable.

Adding a blank line to the footer is not really an option because sometimes the score is PD and there's no copyright. Then, I'd like to use all the space that's available.

Any ideas?

Maybe the attached diagram helps? These vertical spacing properties are all described in NR 4.1.4.

Thanks Abraham. An excellent diagram (worth 10000 words). I understood that the last-bottom-spacing referred to last page bottom spacing. I probably have some problems between reading and understanding something. :)

@Kieren:

What if I have e.g. a 4 page score? Surely, the ragged-last-bottom only affects the page 4, not the problematic pages 2–3?

BR,
