Wow, thanks, I hadn’t thought of that at all! There’s always something more to
learn! :)

Yeah, but that is intentional. I didn’t want tunes split over page breaks
(except the tunes that are too long to fit in one page). Actually that was the
main reason for not using lilypond-book: I wanted more fine-grained control
over vertical spacing, and I found that much easier to achieve when lilypond
takes care of the whole typesetting process.
