Are page breaks possible with this kind of score? If so, how?

[mclaren]

Here's the score. It's pretty self-explanatory. I recognize that at this
point we're stretching the bounds of Western music notation. It would be
nice to be able to get page breaks with a score like this that goes on for
several pages, but so far I haven't figured out how to do it. Trying to
deduce the correct make-moment values would appear to require perceptions
verging, as we may say, on the extrasensory.

This is just a Conlon Nancarrow-style acceleration notated traditionally, by
the way. Nancarrow was doing these kinds of rhythms back in the 1940s.  So
this is far from exotic, musically speaking.
