You simply insert '\bar ""' (w/o the apostrophs) in the music effectively 
telling LP it is ok to break here (because you create an empty barline).

When you you have several systems in your akkolade you have to make sure the 
\bar "" happen at the same time in all systems.

That's a different question and not easily answered in one sentence. You have 
read the Notation Manual on horizontal spacing and the many options available 
to influence that?

Kind regards,
