Once you've finished typesetting, you could also include: \paper { system-count = 4 }
the number being of course equal to the number of lines you want (and 1 more than the number of \break commands). David Hi Tim, There's a snippet in the Notation Reference that may be able to help you. Look in section 4.4.3 at the example just below where it says "To understand how each of these different settings work, we begin by looking at an example that includes no overrides at all." It uses an extra voice with nothing but s1*5 \break s1*5 \break and so forth, making the systems break after every fifth bar. Maybe this approach will do what you want.
