Nitpicking: It's a \header block variable (attached to each score) - I tried
it as a paper variable and was quite confused when things didn't work ;-)

Yes, I think so. The use case I'm thinking of is works with multiple pieces:
By default, pieces start in the middle of a page. But with the breakbefore
header variable, one can automatically start a new page with each new movement
(as opposed to manually inserting dozens of \pageBreak commands). The
breakbefore is kind of a global switch, so one can easily change styles.
Cheers,
Reinhold
