You have to set the lengths of the breve notes manually, though.

I'm looking for a way of making a note of indetermined length that looks like a breve note.
The note might be 50*4 on the first system, then the system automatically breaks. The note then gets tied to the new system where the note might be of 101*8 (or any other length). There would be no visible barlines along the way..
An example in real life is the nocturne from Serenade Opus 31 by Benjamin Britten.
