Re: Suppressing \pageBreak within score

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Ralph, hello Harm,

I tested the following, wich seems to allow page-breaking as expected. 
The page-break-permission is, although dedicated to score, found in the 
global context above the current actual musical score. Setting 
(overriding) it affects all following scores and markups. (question to 
the devels: is this right?)
Now I override it in the global context and do a once override after 
each score to allow page-breaking:
--snip--
\paper {
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##f
  }
}

mus = \relative c'' { \repeat unfold 32 { \repeat unfold 8 { c8 } } \bar 
"|." }

\book {
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
  \once \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##t
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
  \once \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##t
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
  \once \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##t
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
  \once \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##t
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
  \once \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##t
  \score {
    \new Staff \mus
  }
}
--snip--

HTH
Cheers, Jan-Peter
