You don't need the word "define". It's just an instruction in the manual.
Just use
mBreak = { \break }

Subject: define line break
According to lilypond usage 5.2
a.. Define mBreak = { \break } and insert \mBreak in the input file
whenever the manuscript has a line break. This makes it much easier to compare
the LilyPond music to the original music. When you are finished proofreading
your score, you may define mBreak = { } to remove all those line breaks. This
will allow LilyPond to place line breaks wherever it feels are best.
I coded:
\version 2.13.61
define mBreak = {\break}
\relative c, { c d e f g a b \mBreak b b a a }
I got the following error:
C:/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/Desktop/LILY_POND/little-dream.ly:16:7: error: syntax
error, unexpected STRING, expecting SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN or '='
define
mBreak = {\break}
Question: what is the correct syntax?
