hi Neil

many thanks for your answer and your solutions! 

may i add my comments (which of course render my personal view which i
adapted when i encountered the problems i reported; i wouldn't exclude that
in another context i could have other wishes concerning default settings...)

i cannot find a reason to do this - what would you say about a volta spanner
that ends on the line before the break when there is still a note to play on
the next line…?
are there any workarounds?

i could have thought of it, but with all the other problems i got confused…
now i use a padding of #-1 which fits my needs!

again - thanks for your reply and i am really glad to see that lilypond can
