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?
I would say this is a prime use case for the edition-engraver that
allows you to inject a \break based on measure number (regardless of
time changes along the way). Presumably you can make life even simpler
using the openLilyLib package "page-layout" (depending on "breaks" and
"edition-engraver").
With this you can register "break sets" with line breaks, page breaks
and page turns and assign them to a label (e.g. score, violinI,
violinII, va, vc). Then in the individual part file you'd say
\applyConditionalBreaks violinII.
The usage example
https://github.com/openlilylib/page-layout/blob/master/usage-examples/conditional-breaks.ly
should give you a quick idea, although it is done for
manuscript/original-edition.
