I have a large collection of short scores, most of which fit on one or two
pages. I'm trying to understand how to control page turns.  I've added
explicit \pageBreak commands to some scores, but I would like to find a way
for LilyPond to balance the pages when it does automatic page breaking.
That is, if a score is, say, 9 systems long, I would like to put 5 systems
on one page and 4 systems on the other page, rather than 8 and 1 as it does
now if I don't intervene. I can add \allowPageTurn at appropriate places
between sections, but when I tried that I still got an 8 and 1 page split.
Let's say I have 4 sections of 2 or 3 pages each. I could indicate that
these section breaks are good spots for page breaks, but I still want page
breaks to balance content among the pages used, not add a page break for
every section break.

Am I asking for a new feature or is this something I can do today?
