ragged-last-bottom lyrics spacing

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Hi,

I have written a nice python script that allows me to automatically and 
randomly generate note reading exercises for my pupils. It creates a page 
full of notes. Below each note it prints "---". That's where my pupils 
have to fill in the correct note name. The python script has some nice 
commandline options to influence the difficulty of the exercise (minimum 
and maximum note ranges, use sharps/flats/double sharps/double flats yes 
or no, treble, bass, or other clefs). If anyone is interested I can make 
it available. But first I want to solve an issue.

I am using Lilypond 2.13.34 to generate the score. 
But I am having a problem with the spacing between the last staff on the 
page and the "---" below the notes.

I have created a tiny example that demonstrates the same effect. Watch the 
difference in vertical spacing when you compare the last staff with the 
other staves (IMO the last staff look bad) :

---------------8<--------------

\version "2.13.34"
\paper {
% I think this line causes my problem:
  ragged-last-bottom=##f
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \relative c' {
        \repeat unfold 10 {
          c1 | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | \break
        }
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics {
      \lyricmode {
        \repeat unfold 80 { ---1 }
      }
    }
  >>
  \layout{}
}

---------------8<-------------

Is this worth a bug report ?
