Re: Forcing pagebreaks in multi-score book

[Mats Bengtsson]

If I were to do something like this, I would probably put the
full \score{...} in the included file. This was also the structure
I had in mind when writing the previous answer. However now that
I read your question more carefully, I notice that you want to
keep the \score within the main file (for some reasone), which
actually makes things much simpler. It should work to just do:

  \score { \include "file1" \header{breakbefore=##f}}
  \score { \include "file2" \header{breakbefore=##t}}
  ...
