It's actually in Usage:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/typesetting-existing-music

But it's not enough, you should also use the information provided here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-breaks

```
There are cases when manual \break or \pageBreak commands are ignored by
LilyPond. There are two commands to override this behavior:

\override NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-permission = ##f
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn.page-break-permission = ##f
```
