Important:

OK. (but only *if* the patch should be accepted ...)
Musing:
* Why not use tags? (Example below.)
Because that requires the command definition to be done locally or in a
library.
The point of the patch is not to make original breaks *possible* but to make
them *available*.
* Does this implementation make it possible to set the option from the
lilypond command line?
Yes, but not as a "command line option" but using the -e option defining
the configuration variable
* When using original breaks, wouldn't one also want original page size,
staff size, etc.?
* What about hundreds of other features of the original edition?
IMO these are different things.
The detailed aspects of an original edition are a matter of a style
sheet - if you want to mimick them.
What I am talking about is a tool to improve the user experience for
music entry or proof-reading. It is extremely practical to have
identical breaks when you have to match the original manuscript and the
compiled LilyPond output in a score of 100+ pages. But of course you
don't want to hardcode these breaks and prevent LilyPond from doing its
own breaking.
So what I want is a way to be able to enter the original manuscript's
breaks in the input file and switch them on and off.
And I would really love to see that being part of LilyPond itself and
not only possible to implement in a library.
Firstly because I would like *all* LilyPond users to have that available
and secondly because I would like to add this as a Layout Control Option
to Frescobaldi.
