This looks like an unhappy path in the page breaker. For its defense, your
score creates an extremely unusual situation with respect to page breaking.
Namely, because you allow breaks at any point and all staves are desynchronized
by small amounts, there is a huge density of possible page breaking points per
unit of time. Usually, there wouldn't be more than ~15 page breaking points per
line, your score has hundreds.
I recommend removing
```
forbidBreakBetweenBarLines = ##f
```
as well as
```
\context {
\Voice
\remove Forbid_line_break_engraver
}
```
and inserting any breaks you need by hand, by adding something like `\new
Devnull { s1 \break ... }` within the `\new StaffGroup << ... >>`.
For me, this compiles within a minute or so:
```
\version "2.25.5"
#(set-default-paper-size "a0")
#(set-global-staff-size 15)
mus = { \relative c''''' \repeat unfold 80 { c c c c }}
#(define my-semitone->pitch
(make-semitone->pitch
(music-pitches #{ { c cis d ees e f fis g gis a bes b } #})))
\new StaffGroup <<
#@(map (lambda (i)
#{
\new Staff {
\scaleDurations #(cons 120 i) {
\transpose c' #(my-semitone->pitch (- (- 120 i))) {
#(cond
((<= 108 i 120) #{ \ottava 2 #})
((<= 97 i 107) #{ \ottava 1 #})
((<= 72 i 96) #{ \ottava 0 #})
((<= 48 i 71) #{ \clef bass #})
((<= 33 i 47) #{ \clef bass \ottava -1 #} )
(else #{ #}))
\mus
}
}
}
#})
(iota 88 120 -1))
\new Devnull \scaleDurations 120/32 \repeat unfold 8 { s1*10 \break }
>>
\layout {
indent = #0
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/4)
proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1/10)
\override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t
\override SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t
\cadenzaOn
}
\context {
\Staff
\remove Time_signature_engraver
}
}
```
