4.1.3 Fixed vertical spacing \paper variables
Note: Some \paper dimensions are automatically
scaled to the paper size, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
See Automatic scaling to paper size.
Default values (before scaling) are defined in ‘ly/paper-defaults-init.ly’.
-
paper-height -
The height of the page, unset by default. Note that the automatic scaling of some vertical dimensions is not affected by this.
-
top-margin -
The margin between the top of the page and the top of the printable area. If the paper size is modified, this dimension’s default value is scaled accordingly.
-
bottom-margin -
The margin between the bottom of the printable area and the bottom of the page. If the paper size is modified, this dimension’s default value is scaled accordingly.
-
ragged-bottom -
If this is set to true, systems will be set at their natural spacing, neither compressed nor stretched vertically to fit the page.
-
ragged-last-bottom -
If this is set to false, then the last page, and the last page in each section created with a
\bookpartblock, will be vertically justified in the same way as the earlier pages.

Known issues and warnings
The titles (from the \header block) are treated as a
system, so ragged-bottom and ragged-last-bottom will
add space between the titles and the first system of the score.
Explicitly defined paper-sizes will override any user-defined top or bottom margin settings.
