Here's an example (2.3.23) that should fit on one page but takes two.

\version "2.3.22"
\include "english.ly"

#(set-default-paper-size "letter")
\paper{
   raggedbottom = ##t
   raggedlastbottom = ##t
}

\header{
   dedication = "To the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp"
   title = "Blue Lake"
   subtitle = "Overture for Concert Band"
   composer = "John Barnes Chance"
}

global = {
   \time 3/4 s4*3*18 \bar "||"
}

i = \relative c'' { g4 g4. e8 e4 g g4. d8 d4 }
cliia = \relative c' {
   r4 b2~_\markup{ \dynamic pp \italic subito } b8 r b2~
   b8 r cs2~cs8 r b2~b8 r c2~c8 r c2~c8 r bf2~bf8 r r4 r
}
cliib = \relative c' {
   R4*3*7 << { R4*3*2 } { s4*3*2_\markup\italic{ rall. } } >>
   r2 r4\fermata \time 4/4 R1*3^\markup\large\bold{ Tempo I }
   r8 c16\ff( ef bf'8) g( f' d) a'->( c) R1
   r8 f,,,16\ff( af ef'8) c( bf' g) f'->( d) R1*2
}
i = \relative c' { c4 c4. c8 c4 c b4. b8 b4 }

\score {
   <<
       \set Score.skipBars = ##t
   \new Staff << \global { \cliia \cliib } >>
   >>
}
