Hi, Kieren,

I assume you already defined page-count = #5?  There's a known issue (at 
least it's been on the mailing lists, no clue whether it's in the bug 
tracker and/or some known issues section in the docs) as follows:
If page-count is defined in the 2.13 series (at least the earlier 
releases), \pageBreak produces page-count many breaks for the whole 
score; thus, you have to either set page-count = #1 (sic!) and use 
manual page breaks, or use \override NonMusicalPaperColumn 
#'page-break-permission = ##f and omit the page-count definition.

By the way, I have no clue whether the same holds for system-count and 
'line-break-permission. IMHO, this could also be show stopper for 2.14...


HTH, and good luck with the deadline,
Alexander
