Re: Explicit line- and page-breaking

Lily aims at optimal spacing and layout and so this behavior makes sense.

No, this doesn't make sense at all. A computer software (which is in practice 
always buggy) should never ever override anything I tell explicitly. This is 
the very cause why LaTeX is a nightmare to use (however it thinks itself much 
smarter than human beings). E.g. it doesn't even allow for ideological reasons 
to change the margin with one millimeter on one of the pages, to let your text 
fit on it.
