In version 2.19, above override can be accessed with a simple command:

\layout {
 \context {
   \Score
   \autoPageBreaksOff
 }
}


Sven, let me suggest how to search in the manuals.
I normally check the Notation Reference alphabetical index and see if I 
can find a link to the right section. In this case I would have checked 
the P of page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/lilypond-index.html#lilypond-index_cp_letter-P

and "page breaking, manual" would have brought me here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/page-breaking.html#manual-page-breaking

where autoPageBreaksOff/On are explained.
