Hi,
first, which version do you use? I think to remember that
systems-per-page did not work somewhere in the 2.13. branch, but it
should work again in the most recent version.
Then, if you want 12 systems with 8 measures each, you should set
systems-per-page to 12, right?
Anyway, a few suggestions - not tested:
- leave out the #(define page-breaking ...) rule and see if this changes
things, [*]
- use "systems-per-page = #11" (without the quotes, but with the #;
should not change anything, but your variant is syntactic sugar and not
the most natural from a technicial point of view),
- try "min-systems-per-page = #10" and "max-systems-per-page = #12"
instead or additionally (or set both to #11, but a little bit of
flexibility may give better results), or
- use "system-count = #x" to set the total number of systems for the
whole score, and "page-count = #y" to set the total number of pages (and
leave *-systems-per-page alone).
The manual breaks should be the last instance if nothing else works out.
HTH,
Alexander
[*] ly:optimal-breaking is the default anyway, isn't it?
