Hello,
An étude I'm typesetting needs to fit on 2 pages with reasonable vertical space. Normally, I'd just set system-count in \paper (in this case, 20 systems in 2 US letter pages), but this time it says "warning: cannot find line breaking that satisfies constraints" and just runs off the page. If I don't set system-count, it gives me 25 cramped systems on 2 pages.
The piece is almost entirely sixteenth notes in 4/4. Some systems fill with 3 bars, others with 2, and I can't figure out why. Ideally, most would have 3 bars, but manual line breaks won't fix it. I've checked for rhythmic errors (every measure has a barcheck) and didn't find any. I don't want to decrease the font size.
Unfortunately, I can't come up with a tiny example to demonstrate this behaviour. If anyone has suggestions or someone would be willing to look over my file, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers,
