p.s.
Come to think of it, wouldn't this be a good place for a Scheme engraver
[written by someone who, unlike me, knows Scheme well]? To wit, if the measures
in a piece aren't all 4/4, then our suggestion(s) won't work; and every time
the total number of measures changes you need to update; etc.
Couldn't there just be an engraver that says, “If I'm the k-th barline since
the last system break, then break, otherwise noBreak”, that could be
\consists-ed into the \Score?
Cheers,
Kieren.
