It always seems to be a bit hit-and-miss for me when I try to arrange
the pagination of instrumental parts.  Reading the manual it isn't
clear to me how I can force page turns to occur *only* at the points I
choose.
\override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-permission = ##f

will prevent any automatic breaks.

Also, Lilypond doesn't like ending on an even-numbered page.  How can I
force it not to add an unnecessary extra page at the end of a part?
  The reason is that the part in question can fit on to 12 pages.  I
don't want it extended to 13 because that means an extra sheet of paper
and 3 blank pages at the end of the part.
I don't know if there's a way to automatically achieve what you want,
but you can always force the actual number of pages with

\paper {
   page-count = 12
}
(I've just rechecked the following with 2.19.49)

My experience with page-count is that all too often it causes LP to
set early pages too slackly, and then overfills the last page.

Try a combination of page-count, system-count, systems-per-page, min-systems-per-page, max-systems-per-page. And if all of that doesn’t help, you might have to go to manual breaking.

Best, Simon
