A minute ago, I suggested increasing 'padding in bottom-system-spacing.
Perhaps it would also (or instead?) be a good idea to increase 'space
and 'stretchability. Compared with increasing 'padding, this would
increase the space to the footer more in stretched scores and less in
tight scores. Bear in mind that the 'space in bottom-system-spacing is
measured from the margin to the middle line of the bottom staff (not the
lyrics).
