Apologies if this is a duplicate, it did not seem to get relayed through the server the first time I sent it.

I'm doing an arrangement of a song for a jazz ensemble. I am finding that LilyPond is ignoring one of the manual line breaks (after bar 12- I like four bars per line for consistency and readability and I am getting two lines of two bars) and I can't figure out what I've messed up. I'm sure it's something simple and I'll say "duh" when it's pointed out, but I'm flummoxed right at the moment. The time counts in those bars in \harmonies and \melody seem to be correct and LilyPond offers no error message about it (e.g. that the break was overridden). The way my template is laid out, I have the chords and melody in separate blocks and then they are assembled in the \score block.
