I don't think so (only, of course, to investigate how much can be done
on the internal level).
Basically what I'm after is a ly:cheap-line-breaking mode that doesn't
care at all about overall appearance or good page turns but instead
simply places as many measures in a line as fit naturally. If then a
line break changes and I know the natural width of the measures I can
determine before compilation how many measures will fit on the *next*
system.
