I can't say I've used the custom-line-breaks-engraver, but whenever I
need to engrave something particularly tight, I like to use the
following two overrides:
\layout {
\override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-permission = ##f
\override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.page-break-permission = ##f
}
These force LilyPond to break only when YOU tell it to, via \break and
\page Break. You may not need the page-break one.
HTH,
Abraham
