Re: No pagebreaks within a score?

[Mats Bengtsson]

A side comment: If you just have a single \book in your .ly file,
you can just as well remove it, since LilyPond will silently add
a \book around its input if there isn't one. The only reason to
use \book is if you want more than a single output PDF file from
one and the same input .ly file, since each \book block will
result in a new output file. (The only exception to what I
just said is if you use lilypond-book, see the mailing list archives
for more details).
