That'll define how many systems will be used in the entire piece but
not how many systems there should be before a page break. Here's what
I've been doing in lilypond-book:
\newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\\[Xpt]}
\lilypondfile[indent=1.5\cm]{mypiece.ly}
for each piece I'm working on (which are anywhere from 11 lines of
music to say 40 lines of music and anywhere from 1 to 3 pages) I
adjust "X" in the \betweenLilyPondSystem line to where I get the
number of systems on the first page that looks good to me. but i must
make so many guesses before I find what I like. It would be much
handier if I could specify how many systems I want before there's a
page break.
hopefully that makes sense?

i think what you need is in the \paper block
something like
\paper {
system-count = #3

Hi,
How do I specify how many systems per page when I'm using Lilypond-
book? I've read the manual (Integrating LaTeX and music) and have
tried examples but I can't get it working, I'm not sure what I'm
doing wrong.
in the very simple example below there are 6 systems total. what
sort of \def\betweenLilyPondSystem can I use to say that there
must be 3 systems, then a page break?
thank you SOO much!
Adam
