Here's a routine which will write the line breaks to a file.  Have to look
into page breaks/turns.  (It may be that you need explicit page
breaks/turns--then it's possible to read 'page-break-permission and
'page-turn-permission.)

 \version "2.19.15"

%% breaks

#(define out (open-output-file "line-breaks.txt"))

#(define (display-breaks grob)
   (if (and (grob::has-interface grob 'paper-column-interface)
            (eq? #t (ly:grob-property grob 'non-musical)))
       (if (eq? 1 (ly:item-break-dir grob))
           (let* ((location (ly:grob-property grob 'rhythmic-location))
                  (m (car location)))
             (format out "Line beginning at measure ~a~%" m)))
       (ly:message "Need NonMusicalPaperColumn grob to determine line
breaks.")))

\relative c'' {
  \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.after-line-breaking =
#display-breaks
  \repeat unfold 30 { c d e f }
}

Hope this helps--

David
