Hi Leszek!

I usually put the layout-Stuff in a separate voice, but I can imagine, this would be a total mess when dealing with many time signature changes. This sounds a lot like the "Invisible part" you're speaking of.

music = { c1 c c c c c }
breakVoice = { s1 s \pageBreak }
\score {
   \new Staff {<<
      \music
      \breakVoice
   >> }
}

Best regards
Christian

Dear Experts,

I would like to compile a full score and parts based on one file containing musical definitions. I would like to put pagebreaks in specific places in the full score, so that they would not operate when parts are compiled. The way I'm doing it now is that I put a \pagebreak in one of the parts and use tags. E.g. the oboe part "oboeMusic" may contain 

\tag #'fullscoreonly { \pageBreak } 

And in the full score the part figures in the score as 
\keepWithTag #'fullscoreonly \oboeMusic

while in the part file the part is compiled as 
  \removeWithTag #'fullscoreonly \oboeMusic  

I don't really like this solution; it's just not tidy... and I have to remember which part I put the page breaks in. Are there any established Lilypond practices for doing this? Is it e.g. possible to introduce some sort of 'invisible part' on top of the rest which would just be used for editorial stuff like this?

Thanks in advance!

Leszek Wronski.
