We do that stitching-together currently in LilyPond-book mode.  However,
the vertical spacing goes down the drain.  To preserve proper spacing,
we would need to have pre-break, post-break, no-break spacing specs
and/or springs passed out to TeX/LaTeX or whatever backend is in effect.

We are particularly missing out on the skyline-based no-break spec right
now.
