In non lilypond-book mode, you can force Lily so that she only obeys manual 
breaks with:

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

(this probably works with the newer dot syntax, but it's like this in my 
source).

I believe lilypond-book effectively produces a number of single system 
images, so it's not Lily herself that established page breaks in this case.
