Re: page-turn-breaking horizontal spacing
I got a decent spacing using a combination of a quite large spacing increment for SpacingSpanner and increased staff padding. Looks great now. Thanks for the help!

The purpose of the Page_turn_engraver is to automatically insert \applyPageTurn in appropriate places. You will want either to use Page_turn_engraver or to manually specify where page turns are allowed. It's been a while since I looked at those docs, but I'm pretty sure this is mentioned somewhere.

Should the Page_turn_engraver be \consist-ed when using ly:page-turn-breaking? Though it's not mentioned in the docs, all the relevant regtests include it, and having tested it myself, the spacing variables seem to work fine so long as the engraver's included. For example, removing the Page_turn_engraver from page-turn-page-breaking-auto-first-page2.ly results in very tightly spaced systems on one page; increasing 'shortest-duration-space only loosens up the first system.

It's a little hard to tell without an example, but it sounds like lilypond is refusing to give things more space because that would make for a bad page turn. The page-turn-breaking function treats the page-turns with higher priority than anything else, even if the horizontal spacing is really bad. However, it should still use the horizontal spacing settings to choose a good configuration. Does adding \allowPageTurn in appropriate places help?
