Re: more about page breaks in measures

[Adam James Wilson]

I attached a .ly file and a .png to demonstrate the breaking problem.
The example should break at the end of the second measure in the top
staff - instead, only the "inivisible" voices seem to break and wrap
around, becoming visible as they do so.

Best,
Adam
