Here's what I do when I want to take total control of line and page
breaking (this is for 3/4 time):
%%%
forceBreaks = {
% page 1
\repeat unfold 3 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
% ( You need the grace { s8 } if the line starts with a grace note)
\grace { s8 } \repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\pageBreak
% page 2
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 3 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\break\noPageBreak
\repeat unfold 4 { s2.\noBreak } s2.\pageBreak
% etc...
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper" \rightHand
\new Dynamics \dynamics
\new Staff = "lower" \leftHand
\new Dynamics \pedal
\new Dynamics \tempi
\new Devnull \forceBreaks % <-- this is the important part
>>
\layout {}
}
%%%
