To manually force a line break at a bar line, use the
@code{\break} command:
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,relative=2,verbatim]
-c4 c c c | \break
-c4 c c c |
+@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
+\relative c'' {
+ c4 c c c | \break
+ c4 c c c |
+}
@end lilypond
By default, a @code{\break} in the middle of a measure is ignored,
and a warning is printed. To force a line break in the middle of
a measure, add an invisible bar line with @w{@samp{\bar ""}}:
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,relative=2,verbatim]
-c4 c c
-\bar "" \break
-c |
-c4 c c c |
+@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
+\relative c'' {
+ c4 c c
+ \bar "" \break
+ c |
+ c4 c c c |
+}
@end lilypond
A @code{\break} occurring at a bar line is also ignored if the
@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]

lines. This behavior can be changed by setting
@code{\override Beam.breakable = ##t}:

+The @code{ly:one-line-auto-height-breaking} function works just like
+@code{ly:one-line-breaking} except the page height is automatically
+modified to fit the height of the music. Specifically, the
+@code{paper-height} variable in the @code{\paper} block is set so that
+it spans the height of the tallest score plus the @code{top-margin} and
+@code{bottom-margin}.

Normally, @code{spacing-increment} is set to 1.2 staff space, which is
measure, the shortest duration is determined. The most common shortest
duration is taken as the basis for the spacing, with the stipulation
that this shortest duration should always be equal to or shorter than
-an 8th note. The shortest duration is printed when you run
-@code{lilypond} with the @option{--verbose} option.

These durations may also be customized. If you set the

to the example above, they would be followed by half a NHW:
