\once\autoLineBreaksOn ?

Thanks a lot - sometimes it's so easy... :-)

As for Thomas Morley's suggestion (setting penalties), this "sort of" works, but for me it created fewer line breaks, resulting in a not-so-pretty sqeezed layout.

\once\autoPageBreaksOn

But the latter will not work all that well since LilyPond chooses its
line breaks independently of its page breaks, so you'll only get a page
break when the permission coincides by chance with a line break.

This is not a problem in my case - there are plenty of "allowed" line breaks, and as long as every page break occurs only at an allowed line break (this sounds quite tautological to me), everything is fine.
