Reall? That's cool. I've wanted something like that for quite some
time when I put together what essentially text docs in .ly files.

Could we simply allow \pageBreak to "float" in the middle of a file, I
guess at top level?

%%% BEGIN %%%

\markup \wordwrap { lots and lots of text ... }

\pageBreak

\markup \wordwrap { more and more text ... }

%%% END %%%
