It happens to my scores that when using \markuplines for long texts (more than a page), Lilypond leaves a first or a last line orphaned (single, alone) on a page. This is normally unwanted in printed literature. Is there a way how to instruct Lilypond not to leave orphaned or widowed single lines

My solution works in version 2.13, but apparently not in 2.12. However, if you replace "beamSettings" by "autoBeamSettings" in my proposal, it should work in version 2.12. /Mats Stefan Thomas wrote: Dear Mats, thanks for Your help, but with Your code I got the file, I've attached to this

I don't think I can offer a way to do what you're asking. I mainly want to point out that the slash separator is working as advertised for you. It is used in scores to make it easy to find line breaks in a large score particularly when the number of staves changes as instruments are removed f
