Hi,

first, which version do you use? I think to remember that systems-per-page did not work somewhere in the 2.13. branch, but it should work again in the most recent version. Then, if you want 12 systems with 8 measures each, you should set systems-per-page to 12, right?

Anyway, a few suggestions - not tested:
- leave out the #(define page-breaking ...) rule and see if this changes things, [*] - use "systems-per-page = #11" (without the quotes, but with the #; should not change anything, but your variant is syntactic sugar and not the most natural from a technicial point of view), - try "min-systems-per-page = #10" and "max-systems-per-page = #12" instead or additionally (or set both to #11, but a little bit of flexibility may give better results), or - use "system-count = #x" to set the total number of systems for the whole score, and "page-count = #y" to set the total number of pages (and leave *-systems-per-page alone).

The manual breaks should be the last instance if nothing else works out.


HTH,
Alexander


[*] ly:optimal-breaking is the default anyway, isn't it?
