You should research the reason for the warning.
Notes crossing a barline is only one possibility, non-breakable
glissandi another one, probably more.

\repeat unfold 20 {  s1 *6 \break }
compiles fine at its own, so there _must_ be something in fluteMusic
preventing the linebreak.
Without knowing fluteMusic nobody can say more.
