I'm seeking the advice of the list expertise on the topic of producing
parts for a string quartet. I think I know the answer to this in advance,
but I want to validate my ideas. In the score I am setting for a composer
colleague, we are fussy about pagination and line breaks. Lilypond does a
marvellous job of layout out music, but all our scores use explicit page
and line breaks at all times. I don't currently use a separate part to
control the layout vis a vis line and page breaking, since the time
signature changes multiple times per pages and it would be a major
headache, two hundred pages of trying to track that separately.
The issue is that if I use tags to produce a score and parts as per the
standard examples, the explicitly written page breaks cause the parts to
have page breaks after each line, obviously, instead of line breaks.
I cannot be the only person to need to deal with this. What's the best
practice for making parts when using explicit page breaking?
Do I have to have a separate part for breaking, and one to be used for the
score, and one to be used for parts?

In the interests of having an MWE that shows what not to do, i.e., my
effort so far, here we are:
