mmmmm .... not met that.

My first reaction though, is why would what appears to be a line-break
setting affect the number of pages?

And I don't tend to dig deep into all the "esoteric" settings - there
are so many of them that I don't understand, that I tend to shy away
from them. I shouldn't, but I'd rather just use standard bells and
whistles - when I need to use all sorts of fancy over-ride tricks to
achieve effects that I see in pretty much *all* the printed music I
play, it puts me off.

That said, I'll play with this and see what it does - I've got a piece
I've been working on that I had to muck about with and force.

Oh - and sorry Phil, "page-count = 1" didn't work. Although iirc I put
it in \layout{} not \paper{}. Unless that was the wrong place to put it?
That's another place for confusion - I get the impression that some
settings work fine in either, others only seem to work in the layout
section, maybe others only work in the paper section?

Cheers,
