Comment #9 on issue 884 by joeneeman: pageBreak resets page-count property
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=884
Wow, I didn't realize this would be so controversial. The reason that it's
non-trivial to go back to the old behaviour is that it didn't interact well
with min-systems-per-page. The short version is this: in order for
min-systems-per-page to interact properly with \pageBreak, we need[1] to
deal with every \pageBreak-delimited region separately. Otherwise, you
could have something like
.... \pageBreak c'1 c'1 \pageBreak ....
with min-systems-per-page = 2 and the algorithm wouldn't find a solution
because the line breaker would (sensibly) always put the whole notes on the
same line and the page breaker would only know that there aren't enough
systems for min-systems-per-page to be happy, but it wouldn't see exactly
where the extra systems needed to be. So I broke the page-breaking
algorithm into one piece for each page break, but then, of course, it isn't
possible to support some property that needs to see the whole book at once.
Anyway, perhaps it's possible to go back to the old version, with a
different way of supporting min-systems-per-page.
[1] It's possible we don't actually need to, but it was certainly the
simplest solution.
