Hi Rachel,

For some reason, the \break command doesn’t seem to be working in this example. I need a new line to start after the first measure so that all the notes of the following measure can fit on the same line. Any ideas? I’ve tried adding breaks in the cadenza section to see if they work elsewhere using \bar “” \break , but I can’t get the line to break anywhere.

Best,
Rachel

Unfortunately, the source code you posted does not compile. It uses undefined commands like \up, and I'm surprised to see constructs like "[f'32( df df af)]": beams are postfix in LilyPond.

Judging from the picture you attached, I'd suspect that \override Beam.breakable = ##t might be helpful in your situation.
