Of course that *can* happen… but it doesn’t have to. In all my scores, once the layout is fixed, I no longer *ever* let Lilypond make layout choices: I turn off auto-breaking and manually force-break all lines and pages, i.e., page numbers in my scores never change [after that point]. >> Why “rather”?

No… I’m saying I don’t understand why there cannot be options — then users (like me) who control breaks completely can do one thing, and those who don’t can do another. That’s one of my favourite philosophical features about Lilypond: it so often allows the user to choose, offering many parameters for adjustment (with reasonable defaults).
