10.1.11 Page breaking

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
}
