Actually, now in 2.9.23-1, it seems to be even worse than 2.9.22, though  
in the other direction.

At least judging from one score I'm working on, 2.9.17 was fine, 2.9.22  
was way too spread out (vertically and horizontally), and 2.9.23-1 is way  
too squished together (vertically and horizontally).

My score now has one system the right side of which goes beyond the margin  
and literally off the page; another system, its bottom staff has been  
pushed down entirely off the bottom of one page.

Setting ragged-last, ragged-bottom, and ragged-last-bottom to ##f in the  
\paper block seems to trade these problems for others, slightly less  
severe in this case, but still involving a staff pushed off the page.

And setting #(define page-breaking optimal-page-breaks) in the \paper  
block, to disable the new page-breaking, seems to fix the vertical spacing  
problems, but it still leaves the horizontal spacing somewhat more spread  
out than it was in 2.9.17.
