Hello :
I am using Lilypond to make a music score.
But I found there are many bars in one line, and it is not very
beautiful as the picture below shows.
Could I ask u how to define the number of bars of each line? Thank
you very much.
Hi
This is a rather simple question. I assume that you are new to
LilyPond, so let me explain how to search the answer in the
documentation.
I suggest starting from the index of the Notation Reference:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/lilypond-index
If you click on the B and search for breaking, you quickly find:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/line-breaking
and at the bottom of that page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/other-paper-variables#paper-variables-for-line-breaking
So you have two tools:
1. \break for "hard" breaks (I suggest using it rarely, only where you
really want to force a line break)
2. \paper variables: this is what you'd like to use mostly, as you can
usually change the line breaking of a whole score with one or two
options without touching the music (easier to maintain and change later)

In addition to Federico's specific guidance, it will be well worth your
while to read through the Learning Manual, which will give you a grand
tyour of all the elements of LilyPond's way of engraving.
Cheers,
Colin
