5.7.3 Line breaks

Line breaks are normally determined automatically. They are chosen so that lines look neither cramped nor loose, and consecutive lines have similar density. Occasionally you might want to override the automatic breaks; you can do this by specifying \break. This will force a line break at this point. However, line breaks can only occur at the end of ‘complete’ bars, i.e., where there are no notes or tuplets left ‘hanging’ over the bar line. If you want to have a line break where there is no bar line, you can force an invisible bar line by entering \bar "", although again there must be no notes left hanging over in any of the staves at this point, or it will be ignored.

The opposite command, \noBreak, forbids a line break at the bar line where it is inserted.

The most basic settings influencing line spacing are indent and line-width. They are set in the \layout block. They control the indentation of the first line of music, and the lengths of the lines.

If ragged-right is set to true in the \layout block, then systems end at their natural horizontal length, instead of being spread horizontally to fill the whole line. This is useful for short fragments, and for checking how tight the natural spacing is.

The option ragged-last is similar to ragged-right, but affects only the last line of the piece.

\layout {
indent = #0
line-width = #150
ragged-last = ##t
}
