This example included 14 \allowPageTurns, from which LilyPond chose the 5 best page-turns. The music would fit on 10 pages with no regard to possible page turns, so by using just 11 pages with good page-turns, LilyPond does quite a good job. ly:page-turn-breaking works, so we do get some benefit form LilyPond's efforts to estimate how tall the systems will be when choosing the line- breaks. The default page-breaker still seems to get no benefit (such as smarter choices of line-breaks) from the estimates of how many systems will fit on a page, but suffers loose or over-full pages when those estimates are wrong.

That does work. By setting systems-per-page manually, we are making the page-breaking decisions ourselves. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
