Doh!  You're so right.  That explains why fiddling with the copyright
notice achieved nothing.  I must be getting a default tagline.

Many thanks to you and to Thomas for your help.

&gt; I'm having a bit of a struggle with the spacing of systems \
on the final &gt; page of a 12-page score. With
&gt; \paper { ragged-last-bottom = ##t }
&gt; the final page has three systems crowded together, \
followed by a sea of &gt; whitespace, then the \
copyright line. But with &gt; \paper { \
ragged-last-bottom = ##f } &gt; the spacing between \
systems is reasonable but the final system is too &gt; \
close to the copyright line. &gt;
&gt; I've tried various things, including:
&gt; changing the copyright line to \markup { \center-column { \
&quot; &quot; \vspace #10 &gt; &quot;some text&quot; \
}} &gt; changing \paper { system-system-spacing \
#'basic-distance = #29 }

First thing: I'm assuming it's not really the copyright notice \
that is the problem: this should be at the bottom of \
the first page. I think it's actually the tagline \
you're discussing: this goes at the bottom of the last page. </PRE>

Second: which version are you using? It always helps to \
specify. I added extra spacing above the tagline in \
2.17.25 so it may be you're using an earlier \
version. </PRE>
