Hello Mahanidhi,
A trick for breaks: I use \myBreak and \myPageBreak, defined this way:
% Pick your choice from the next two lines as needed
%myBreak = { \break }
myBreak = {}
% Pick your choice from the next two lines as needed
%myPageBreak = { \break }
myPageBreak = {}
That makes it easy to first check the Lily file for correctness with forced
breaks, and later to let Lily do the breaking on its own.
