page-layout

This openLilyLib package provides functionality to work with page layout in the Lilypond notation program.

Conditional Breaks

The conditional-breaks module allows the application of alternative sets of line/page breaks, e.g. to reflect different musical sources or to match the layout of the engraver's copy while entering the music. This works unintrusively as the breaks are not mixed with the content in any way.
