There's one other matter here with this score: In the console output, I see this:

 

Drawing systems. . .

warning: compressing over-full page by 24.5 staff-spaces

warning: page 1 has been compressed

 

So how can I figure out why it's compressing the page? I don't see any \paper block besides these I've listed that specify a size for the page, so I don't know where it could be. Is there some special procedure for making landscape-format scores?

 

All this means is that the best page layout it could find with your systems was 24.5 staff spaces too tall for the page, so it squeezed things a little closer than you’d like.

 

I don’t consider this warning to be a problem at all, as long as the visual representation of the music is OK in your opinion.

 

HTH,
