Ah now *that* makes sense to me :) and was the missing part (at least
if it was implied, I missed it).

Obviously there would be other 'knock on' effects but that would be
for another discussion.

Isn't this 'kind of/sort of' what the pageturner engraver does - it
calculates 'something' to know when to insert a pagebreak

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/optimal-page-turning

Maybe this is the place to possibly add a function like this?

(just sowing ideas)
