A couple things you may want to try:

#(set-accidental-style 'neo-modern) at the beginning of each staff
when there's no time signature, use \once \override Staff . TimeSignature 
#'stencil = ##f and then use \bar "" at each point in time where a line break 
would be acceptable.

If you're OK with beams over system breaks and glissandi over system breaks, 
set the breakable property to ##t for Beam and Glissando.

My four LilyPond scores from 2011 are at:

Not all of them are 100% LilyPond, but all of them use LilyPond somehow.  Two 
of them use voice.  If you see anything you'd want to use, I can tell you how I 
did it.
