Re: paging at piano-music for four hands

[Mats Bengtsson]

Unfortunately, there's no good support for this feature at the moment.
I'm afraid you have to insert line breaks (\break) and page breaks
(\newpage) manually. To mix the pages, I would typeset the two
parts after each other and then use a postscript tool such as
psselect to rearrange the pages.

Is it common practice to always break every line at the same bar in the
two parts or is it enough to break the pages?
