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.
