One more alternative, with more convenience but also more dependencies, 
is using the openLilyLib package edition-engraver 
(https://github.com/openlilylib/edition-engraver) which lets you inject 
(line/page) breaks "externally". A wrapper around this which is 
specifically designed to address your questions is the openLilyLib 
package page-layout (https://github.com/openlilylib/page-layout) that 
lets you directly specify lists of breaks ("break sets"), even multiple 
sets for different purposes and choose a break set to apply at will.

This would require you to download four repositories and make them 
available by adding their common base directory to the LilyPond search 
path, which can easily be done in Frescobaldi (but also on the "pure" 
command line). So depending on your use case it may be overkill, but you 
may also consider it as a general "toolbox investment".
