Look up \break and \noBreak in the docs (eg at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Line-brea
ks#Line-breaks ).  These allow you to control linebreaking manually.  If
they don't help, make sure you have no notes extending beyond the end of
bars - look up barcheck to help (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Bar-and-bar-number
-checks#Bar-and-bar-number-checks ).  If this doesn't help please post your
input.

  Subject: Force number of bars per line


  I'm notating a piece of music, and I'm getting 2, 3, and 4 bars on
different lines.  But the original hardcopy I'm transcribing has exactly 3
on all lines, and it definitely looks better.

  I read the section on horizontal spacing, but I don't want to screw around
with ad hoc stretching, obviously.  Is there any way I can control it at the
bar level for the whole piece?  I tried to do my homework, but couldn't find
anything about it.  Thanks,

  Mike
