Comment #10 on issue 884 by organsnyder: pageBreak resets page-count property
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=884

It seems to me like you're trying to account for someone trying to do something stupid (no offense to anyone...). I think that the best solution would be to tell people that they're being stupid ("Warning: Not enough notes between \pageBreak's to satisfy min-systems-per-page requirement") and leave it at that. If someone really wanted two whole notes split onto two lines, it's perfectly sensible to require them to explicitly say so with a \break command - especially since it would enable appropriate behavior for other, non-stupid use cases.

Why this is a big deal (for me, at least) - since the behavior changed I've been manually specifying all breaks (lines too) because it was the only way I could reliably get the layout I wanted. I'd much prefer being able to say "give me six pages, with explicit breaks here and here."
