Re:Staff Group Spacing of five part score (Peter Gentry)

[Peter Gentry]

The solution I came to was……..

 

By removing

                blank-after-score-page-penalty = #10

                page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking  

                ragged-bottom = ##t

from the top level \paper block

 

and using

\bookpart{

  \score {

  \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 25) }

   \new Score \with

  {

   \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #0

   \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t

   \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t

  }

<< 

   \new StaffGroup

   <<

      \override StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #1

      \override Score.SystemStartBar #'collapse-height = #1

 

         \new Staff = AStave

      <<

               \set Staff.instrumentName = "Flt1"

                \set Staff.midiInstrument = "flute"

               \new Voice = "F1" {

                \naturalizeMusic

                 \include "Line1_M1.ly"

                  \ledgers    }

         >>

Etc  for all 5 instrument parts

 

 

 

This spaces two lines of the full score on each page as intended – but I have no idea why?
