Dear Graham et al,
After searching the inter-web thingie with Google I found a piece on the CPDL site which, although old, showed the use of 'breakbefore', in a setting authored by Anders Stenberg of some pieces by Purcell. Here is my take on the use of breakbefore using info from his .ly file and what I found in the LP manuals.
I hope it might be of some use.
Regards
Bill
