Re: Ask about the typesetting of Lilypond

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi bb and OP,

To be fair, the question is ambigous, and has two answers. He may be asking not simply how to break a line at a given location, but rather how to specify a certain numbers of bars per line - the latter not something that is obvious or simple in lilypond at all, and yet very frequently desired.

The Lilypond Snippet Repository provides a solution to specifying a set number of bars per line in example LSR 838 - and non-trivial it is indeed.

Hello :
 I am using Lilypond to make a music score.
 But I found there are many bars in one line, and it is not very  beautiful as the picture below shows.
 Could I ask u how to define the number of bars of each line?  Thank you very much.
