when working on a score a few days ago I noticed that I would prefer (and  
have often seen in printed scores) the staves on the first page (if they  
are fewer than normal due to headers) to be stacked at the bottom of the  
page with normal distances rather than have them spread over the entire  
page with overlarge distances.
Presuming that this won’t be made standard behaviour, it would require a  
command like the \vfill command in TeX, which, after the content has been  
spread over the pages, inserts as much vertical space as fits on the page.
Of course, one might just insert \markup \vspace #x and adjust it by trial  
and error, but it would be more complicated and less elegant.
Do you agree that this is a good idea?
