Previous: Line breaking, Up: Music layout
The default page breaking may be overriden by inserting
\pageBreak or \noPageBreak commands. These commands are
analogous to \break and \noBreak. They should be
inserted at a bar line. These commands force and forbid a page-break
from happening. Of course, the \pageBreak command also forces
a line break.
Page breaks are computed by the page-breaking function in the
\paper block.
To force a new page for a new piece (in a collection of pieces or a
piece in several movements), use breakbefore in the header.
\header{
breakbefore = ##t
piece = ""
}
The breakbefore=##t header requires that there is a piece
header as well. It may be used as a normal header, or left blank
(="") as in the example above, but it must be present.
