Hello, I am working on a lead-sheet song book (i.e. one \book with many short \scores inside), and I was looking for a way to optimize page turning for musicians playing tunes from the book. Most songs fit on a single page, but there are a few songs which span 2 or more pages.
I want to make sure that all songs which more than 1 page start on an even page, but all 1-page songs should be allowed to start on an even or an odd page. Looking through the documentation, and testing the built-in page- breaking algorithms, there doesn't seem to be a turn-key solution for my use-case. The default optimal-breaking algorithm starts every \score on the next page (even or odd), and page-turn-breaking forces every \score to start on an even page, which causes (almost) blank pages (the last line is put on the odd page) after all tunes which would happily fit on 1 page. I tried fiddling with the different blank-page-*-penalties, but so far I wasn't able to achieve my goal. Is it possible after all? Best, Johannes
