LilyPond will only consider breaking lines where you have bar lines. If you don't want any bar lines in the output, you could indicate positions that are good candidates for line breaks by inserting invisible bar lines with \bar "". If you want to force a line break, combine it with the command \break: \bar "" \break
If you don't want any bar lines in your score and want LilyPond
to be able to break the lines anywhere, you could use
\score{
...
\paper{
...
\translator{
\ScoreContext
barAlways = ##t
defaultBarType = #""
}
}
}
By the way, I hope you realize that the line \include "paper16.ly" in your example doesn't have any effect, since it comes after the score.

Hi,
I'm just getting started with lilypond which, by the way, is looking fantastic so far.
I'm having trouble with line breaks. I want raggedright output, by which I mean I want to break no matter how short that will make the current line if the current line would otherwise be too wide for the page. I can't seem to get this... could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong in this short example?
Cheers, Rupert
