Re: "context sensitive" layout

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, if you only have a single \book{...} in your
.ly file, you could just as well remove it (the only reason
to use \book{...} is if you want several PDF output files from
one and the same .ly file).

For the page breaks, the solution outlined in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-06/msg00049.html
with followups. I think that the solution to the final email in the thread
is to remove the \book in the included file.
