I'm creating an index to my scores, in the form of a sequence of LilyPond markups (for title, composer, first few bars etc). It is working well apart from page breaking which can occur mid-entry. Is there a way of turning page breaks off and back on around each entry? Richard Shann

In 18th c. mss and prints it is quite common to create line breaks during bars - I've found this much improves the legibility of some florid slow movements. However, it seems that the available accidental styles only take account of barlines and ignore line breaks, which is not very practical,
