The attached file compiles differently under 2.22 and 2.24: 2.24 introduces a page break that isn’t present in 2.22.  This is causing some havoc in my lyluatex tool chain.  Any idea what’s causing the problem and how to fix it?

This change was on purpose.

lilypond-book-preamble.ly arranges so that LilyPond's notion of pages is changed to make each system or markup a page of its own (except explicit \books).

In 2.22, lilypond-book sets the EPS backend to be used, and the EPS backend caused two things:

• Separate-page output: one file "document-pagenumber.pdf" per page. Since lilypond-book-preamble.ly also turns systems into pages, that effectively means one page per system.

• Tall-page output: the main "document.pdf" output file is just all pages squashed together.

In 2.24, it doesn't do that anymore. It mostly makes the “system as page” setting. Furthermore, the EPS backend has been removed in favor of separate options:

• use -dseparate-page-formats=pdf if you want to get one output file per page (or per system if also using lilypond-book-preamble.ly),

• use -dtall-page-formats=pdf if you want to get squashed pages.
