Ok :). I'll see what I can find in my University library :).
Btw, is anyone adding support for Sol-fa music? (For those who don't know,
it's another notation standard, used for exaple in the film/musical "The Sound
of Music"). If not, I might do it myself some day (assuming I remain
unemployed).

Oops. I need an upgrade :|.

Sorry to bother you with questions you have already answered in other
documentation. I've read all of it at one time or another, but haven't taken
it all in, I guess :|.
? \break ? Hard breaks (ie. I can break the line where I want). \break
only works at end of bars (and if you insert barlines with
\bar "|", it doesn't help).
Another thing which I had trouble figuring (and which should maybe go
in the FAQ) is that, to get a (music) line to break at the end of a (lyrics)
line, it's necessary to insert '\break \bar "|";', once for each staff.
