Hi all, I’m presently struggling with a keyboard score and I know exactly where line breaks have to be inserted to make the score readable. So I enter \break at those points, in all voices, but it does not work at all. The result is a cluttered, ugly and for the pianist practically unreadable score. Does any of you know another way to force a line break? I’m using TeXShop on my Mac. Usually "\break" works perfectly.
Things to check when \break doesn't work: - breaks must be at a bar-line, include \bar "" if you want one mid-bar - are you using bar-checks? often a failed break is a symptom of an error in the entry of durations - some things are not breakable by default (Beams, note durations), see here for solutions. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/line-breaking -- Mark Knoop
