Hm ... there is the following override ...

 \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'line-break-permission = ##f

... which you'll need to do either in the Score's \with block or in a
\context block. If you make the override directly in music entry, use
\overrideProperty "Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn" etc, instead.

That *should* prevent lily from inserting any page breaks whatsoever.
Mail back if it does in fact do the trick.
