Yes... I've found that often the final page in such a score gets
cheated in the number of systems assigned to it.  So I may have 5
systems on all my other pages and only 3 on the last page.  That's
what I remember, anyway.  The dummy score for layout seems to invoke
different - and more consistent - routines.

But I'm perfectly happy with it.  I do wish it were easier to force
number of systems per page but let LilyPond take care of things like
spacing between systems, etc.
