Hi,

i've been using the systems-per-page layout variable for some scores
and have a question related to it.

in the piano pieces i've been working with lately, finding page
breaking has become challenging. i've generally resorted to
system-count, forced page-breaks and at times, systems-per-page. if i
can find an ideal systems-per-page count for middle pages of a score,
quite often, the first-page becomes _very_ cramped. having one system
less on the first page generally solves this problem.

is there a variable for the page layouting algorithm that can affect
the system-count for the first (and ideally also for the last) page?

ideally, i could imagine something like this:

%%%
\paper {
   systems-per-page = #5
   systems-on-firstpage = #4
   %{ -- this is if the last page would not be fully filled
   systems-on-lastpage = #3
   ragged-last-bottom = ##t
   %}
}
%%%

Is something like that possible?

David N's systems-per-page engraver works differently, but seems to
do exactly what you want:
