For some reason, the \break command doesn’t seem to
be working in this example. I need a new line to start after the
first measure so that all the notes of the following measure can
fit on the same line. Any ideas? I’ve tried adding breaks in the
cadenza section to see if they work elsewhere using \bar “”
\break , but I can’t get the line to break anywhere.
Best,
Rachel

Unfortunately, the source code you posted does not compile. It uses
undefined commands like \up, and I'm surprised to see constructs
like "[f'32( df df af)]": beams are postfix in LilyPond.
Judging from the picture you attached, I'd suspect that \override
Beam.breakable = ##t might be helpful in your situation.
