\version "2.9.16"
\header{
 texidoc = "   
When both title and between-system-space is set, and 
ragged-last-bottom=##f,
then the music is placed at the bottom of the first page.

There's a very simple workaround: use between-system-padding = #1
instead of betetwensystemspace.
"

 title = "foo"}
\paper{
between-system-space = 1\mm
ragged-last-bottom=##f
}
{
c'1 \break
c'1 \break
c'1 \break
c'1 \break
}

(Reproduced with 2.11.47) Are we sure this is a bug? All LilyPond does is applying
the required settings, isn't it?

Then why does -padding work?

Basically, -space is applied before the ragged-last is applied, whereas -padding is
applied after.  Is this deliberate?

This is because after-title-space is so much larger than between-system-space in your
example. Since both of these spaces are stretchable and the after-title-space is much
larger, it gets stretched out much more. Note that the default between-system-space
is 20\mm, so your paper block is telling lilypond to put the staves very close together.

On the other hand, -padding is non-stretchable space, so when you have a page that is
being stretched with a strong force, -padding is not nearly as noticeable as -space.

I think we should document it better when it's time.
