This was exactly what I was after. It’s nice and simple and works well. Thank
you.
I might wish for it being better documented. I see Devnull documented well in
the Internals Reference, but I didn’t readily see it mentioned in the Notation
Reference. Not that I know exactly where it would fit well. I needed it in the
context of
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/different-editions-from-one-source.
It might not be the right place.
Also a cross-reference at least in NR 4.3.1 "Line Breaking". (v2.24.3)

Can you provide some additional sentence or sentences for the
documentation so that we have something to start with?

Control breaks in staff that I get from a variable?
**Question in short**: Suppose I have a staff in a variable. Can I impose
breaks (line breaks, page breaks, page turns) on that staff without modifying
the variable? My use case is using the staff in a part and in a score with
other parts, where obviously the breaks need to be different. Another use case
could be using the staff on different page sizes.
**My research**: I am assuming for example
staffIGot = \new PianoStaff << %{ ... %] >>
As some of us know, this does not work:
<<
\staffIGot
{ s1*5 \break }
>>
It introduces an extra staff. Not wanted.
I can trivially pick the staff apart and put parts ("voices" in Lilypond) into
different variables that I can then combine with each other and with my desired
breaks. It will be wordy and a bit error-prone (in particular with a piano
staff with centred dynamics). You may say that my question is really a "luxury"
one: can I avoid having to do this?
**My solution until now**: Here’s the best I have thought of: I put the staff
in a separate source file (which I would want to do anyway), for example:
staffIGot = \new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff <<
\imposedBreaks
% music goes here
>>
\new Staff { %{ more music here %} }
>>
As you can see, my staff now uses a variable \imposedBreaks that it does not
define. So when I use the staff, I first define my desired breaks in there:
\version "2.24.3"
imposedBreaks = { s1*6 | \break }
\include "includeFileWithStaff.ly"
\new Score \staffIGot
This seems to give me my desired behaviour. I find it a bit tricky. A further
downside is I also need to define imposedBreaks in scores where I don’t want to
control breaks manually (I can define it empty).
**Question more precisely**: Is there a better, simpler, less tricky solution?
