You should have better results if you use \book; inside a
lilypond-book document, \book will output each page as a single .eps
, so \pageBreak will probably work.
I have only partial success here. When trying the example attached at
the end of this email, I only get the first score line of the first
page, the second one is lost. On the second page, I get the desired
two score lines. Please debug and fix before version 2.6!
The second line of the first page _is_ in the .eps file. My guess is that
the "high above" text pushes it too low, and the second line gets cut
off by the bottom margin.
You didn't mention this, so I'm not certain if you see the same behavior:
On fink 2.5.23 (and your test file) my first page consists of only
"Hello!";
there's a pagebreak, then the "high above" and one line of music on page
2. It would great if this was tweakable; if breakbefore (or
firstbreakbefore)
is false, don't insert a pagebreak before the \book.
