Hello Mahanidhi, A trick for breaks: I use \myBreak and \myPageBreak, defined this way:
% Pick your choice from the next two lines as needed %myBreak = { \break } myBreak = {} % Pick your choice from the next two lines as needed %myPageBreak = { \break } myPageBreak = {} That makes it easy to first check the Lily file for correctness with forced breaks, and later to let Lily do the breaking on its own.
