break is only valid at bar lines.  However, bar lines can be blank and can be in
the middle of a measure.  Put

\bar " " 

before your \break, and the break should work.

See the manual, Chapter 6, for more information:

I've found it helpful to get a copy of the manual in PDF format, and use Acrobat
Reader to search for things -- it's often more complete than the index.
