raggedbottom

[Art Hixson]

I have a \book in which one of the scores is only three staves long.  
These got spread across the page, of course, and I wanted to have a more 
normal spacing.  Rummaging around in the archives brought up the 
raggedbottom and raggedlastbottom concepts.  I tried both of these, both 
in \paper and \layout, both true and false -- nothing.  I got what I 
wanted by a rather ugly hack which took a lot of research time:

   b4. c8 f,2 g2   
   c2. ~ c2   \bar ":|"    % end of piece
 
   \stopStaff
   \override Staff.Clef #'transparent = ##t
   \override Staff.KeySignature #'transparent = ##t
   \override Score.BarNumber  #'break-visibility = #all-invisible
  
   s1*200     %lots of padding

Isn't there a more elegant way? And what's the meaning of the ragged 
bits if they don't do anything in this situation?
