I think the “perfect” break-engraver would admit coding like the following
(pseudocode; all numbers in measures):
\lineBreakAt 27
\lineBreaksAt (12 28 34 48)
\noLineBreaks (27-30)
\lineBreaksForbidAt 28
\lineBreaksAllowAt 34
etc., and identical for \pageBreaks-
These breaking-codes would be put in the \layout block of a score — cf. the way
David N’s engraver currently works — so that there is no need to mix this
presentation-layer information into the content layer.
The only additional [optional] argument I can think of is a Staff (or Voice?)
"context target”, e.g.,
\lineBreakAt 27 #”soprano"
which would be necessary for polymetric music (where the measures might not all
end simultaneously).
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Kieren.
