[Fwd: Re: Does anyone still use breakbefore?]
Sorry all, sent this reply to devel, by mistake Ian --- Begin Message --- Hi all, Can't you use a \bookpart block to achieve the page break at the start of a \score, too?

Yes, I think so. The use case I'm thinking of is works with multiple pieces: By default, pieces start in the middle of a page. But with the breakbefore header variable, one can automatically start a new page with each new movement (as opposed to manually inserting dozens of \pageBreak commands). The breakbefore is kind of a global switch, so one can easily change styles.

Does anyone still use breakbefore?
For a couple of years now, we've had Nicolas' cool top-level \pageBreak commands. So I'd like to get rid of the code supporting the old breakbefore \paper block variable. Before I do, is there still a use-case for it? Cheers, Joe ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
