-By default, LilyPond will generate beams automatically. This feature

+can be disabled by setting the
+@code{Voice.noAutoBeaming}@indexcode{Voice.noAutoBeaming} property to 1.
+It can be overridden for specific cases by specifying explicit beams.
A large number of Voice properties are used to decide how to generate
-beams. Their default values appear in @file{auto-beam-settings.ly}.
-In general, beams can begin anywhere, but their ending location is
-significant. Beams can end on a beat, or at durations specified by
-the @code{Voice.beamAutoEnd}@indexcode{Voice.beamAutoEnd} property. To end beams every
-quarter note, for example, you could set
-@code{Voice.beamAutoEnd}@indexcode{Voice.beamAutoEnd} equal to `@code{"1/4"}'. To end beams
-at every three eighth notes you would set it to `@code{"3/8"}'. The
-same syntax can be used to specify beam starting points using
+beams. Their default values appear in @file{auto-beam-settings.ly}. In

To allow different settings for different time signatures, these
property names can start with `@code{time}@var{N}@code{_}@var{M}' to
restrict the definition to `@var{N}@code{/}@var{M}' time. For example,
-to specify beams ending only for 6/8 time you would use the
-property @code{Voice.time6_8beamAutoEnd}. To allow different endings
-for notes of different durations, the duration can be tacked onto the
-end of the property. To specify beam endings for beams that contain
-32nd notes, you would use @code{Voice.beamAutoEnd_32}.

-height of the five lines in a staff when displayed in the font.
-
-Definitions for these sizes are the files @file{paperSZ.ly}, where

-To change the paper size, you must first set the

+
+Line breaks are normally computed automatically. They are chosen such
+that the resulting spacing has low variation, and looks neither cramped
+nor loose.
+
+Occasionally you might want to override the automatic breaks; you can do
+this by specifying @code{\break} (see also @ref{Pre-defined
+Identifiers}). This will force a line break at this point. Do remember
+that line breaks can only occur at places where there are barlines. If
+you want to have a line break where there is no barline, you can force a
+barline by entering @code{\bar "";}.
+
+@subsection Page breaks
+
+Page breaks are normally computed by @TeX{}, so they are not under direct
+control. However, you can insert a commands into the .tex output to
