Using Lilypond 2.2.4 on Gentoo Linux, I see the following curious
behaviour.
This file lays out beautifully in its original key. (G major).
If, however, I change the transpose command from "\transpose g g" to
"\transpose g a", then the second system does not break as commanded
after 4 bars, but instead attempts fit on 8 bars (which does not fit!)
Input file attached.
Great program, by the way!
Thanks
Rachel

Once I was young
yes- ter- day, per- haps,
danced with Jim and Paul and
kissed some oth- er chaps.
Once I was young, but
nev- er was na- ive, I
thought I had a trick or two up
my im- a- gin- a- ry sleeve.
And now I know I was na- ive.

I did- n't know what time it was,
Then I met you.
Oh, what a love- ly time it was
How sub- lime it was, too.
I did- n't know what day it was.
You held my hand,
Warm like the month of May it was,
And I'll say it was grand.
Grand to be a- live, to be young,
to be mad, to be yours a- lone.
Grand to see your face, feel your touch,
hear your voice say I'm all your own.
I did- n't know what year it was,
Life was no prize.
I want- ed love and here it was
shin- ing out of your eyes. I'm
wise and I know what time it is now.
