The problem is that we break baerenreiter-sarabande.ly. With compression
penalties, it goes from 6 lines to 7 (since ragged-bottom is true,
page-breaking is having no effect here). My preferred solution is just
to set system-count to 6 and forget about it.

I realise that part of the purpose of baerenreiter-sarabande is to test
the line-breaking algorithm and therefore I'm a bit wary of adding an
extra tweak to compensate for line-breaking changes. However: the number
of systems in the Baerenreiter original is not necessarily the optimal
number of systems for the horizontal spacing; it is the optimal number
of systems for the combined horizontal and vertical spacing. I therefore
think it's OK to force the number of systems, given that we've taken it
out of context of the vertical spacing.

What do other people think?


IIRC, Baerenreiter sarabande has a forced line break anyway, so it doesn't really make a difference in intentions if we add or change some of the tweaks.
