I'm typesetting a hymn. For this particular project, it has the following requirements
- Every hymn must start on a new page. (Not strethced/spaced out, short hymn scores to sit at the top normally).
- If the hymn overflows to the following page (1 or 2 line of music), leave that line of music sits at the top of the page, and start a new hymn on a new page.
- Cannot have 2 short hymns on 1 page.
How should I tell Lilypond to do this?
When I tried placing manual \pageBreak
as such;
% Include songs from here ----------------------------------------------------------
\include "psalm1.ly"
\pageBreak
\include "psalm2.ly"
\pageBreak
\include "psalm3.ly"
\pageBreak
This gives me the following. Too spaced out.
For The second hymn, it has an overflow 1 music line. But it became too spaced out too! The requirement is to condense the score and leave the hanging 1 extra line music there, and start on a new page.
I feel \pageBreak
is not what I am looking for here.
Can someone help me with my typesetting requirements?
