Oh, sorry – in my test file, the \noBreak was included, but apparently
not in my mail to you. Good that you found it yourself.

The only way I can think of is to define the measure length via \time or
by any other means – lilypond doesn't allow breaks within (complete) bars.
Most of your bars look like 2/4, so maybe you can
include

\context { \Staff \remove "*Time_signature*_engraver" }

and use explicit \time ... commands in your score.

HTH,
