Bug. It also raises the problem of how to force or forbid a page break
between markup blocks. The backend supports it, but we don't have a
way to actually specify it in the input file.
Reall? That's cool. I've wanted something like that for quite some
time when I put together what essentially text docs in .ly files.
Could we simply allow \pageBreak to "float" in the middle of a file, I
guess at top level?
%%% BEGIN %%%
\markup \wordwrap { lots and lots of text ... }
\pageBreak
\markup \wordwrap { more and more text ... }
%%% END %%%
Crowded markup stuff added as Google 293.
