Crash when music of score starts with \pageBreak
I came across a situation where LilyPond crashes caused by a badly placed \pageBreak. I've chopped most of the music out of the example but when I tried to remove more the crash stopped. The error message ends: Finding the ideal number of pages... Fitting music on 1 page...lilypond: /home/gub/NewGub/gub/target/linux-64/src/lilypond-git.sv.gnu.org--lilypond.git-stable-2.22/lily/page-breaking.cc:1073: void Page_breaking::line_divisions_rec(vsize, const Line_division&, const Line_division&, Page_breaking::Line_division*): Assertion `my_index == 0' failed.

Jonas, aside from the discussion we had about the SVG backend's speed vs Cairo, how do you feel about replacing the SVG backend with Cairo's SVG output? That would yield more accurate SVG output at a reduced maintenance burden. The immediate motivation is that fixing cut & paste requires rearrangement of how we output text strings, and I'd rather avoid refactoring up the SVG backend if I can (https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6172#note_675122487 for background). This would be predicated on getting Cairo to compile on CI, in GUB and in the new compile scripts, obviously. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
