I don't have a problem with the breaking of the measures though. The problem is the inconsistent spaces of the 8th notes (as you can see from the output of the code I posted). There's one 8th note in consecutive series of 8th notes that had the spacing about the same as 16th note, as I said, this is immediately noticeable. And gives me pauses when I try to read through it.

I've had good results printing jazz charts in 4- or 8-bar lines by inserting a few \break commands in strategic places. This does make most 32-bar standards easier to read.
Lily does a good job of dividing the intervening measures in sensible ways. Very rarely, I add a \noBreak somewhere. I see no reason to force each measure to exactly the same width.
My band members really like these charts, BTW. They are easier to read than most printed Fake Books. Thanks to all who created this great program... -- joq
