I'm happy with everything except this.  I think line-break decisions are an 
aspect to how good the overall result is, and thus how good the engraving 
program is.  Forcing line breaks could easily distort the overall output. 
I'd accept that one of the final tweaks might be to adjust margins, staff 
sizes and forced linebreaks to most closely imitate the original, but it 
should be a final adjustment, not an early one.  Early work should never 
involve forced breaks.
