2.2.102 Paper_column_engraver
Take care of generating columns.
This engraver decides whether a column is breakable.  The default is that a
column is always breakable.  However, every Bar_engraver that does not
have a barline at a certain point will set forbidBreaks in the score
context to stop line breaks.  In practice, this means that you can make a break
point by creating a bar line (assuming that there are no beams or notes that
prevent a break point).
Music types accepted:
break-event and label-event
Properties (read)
-  
forbidBreak(boolean) If set to
#t, prevent a line break at this point, except if explicitly requested by the user.
Properties (write)
-  
currentCommandColumn(graphical (layout) object) Grob that is X-parent to all current breakable items (clef, key signature, etc.).
-  
currentMusicalColumn(graphical (layout) object) Grob that is X-parent to all non-breakable items (note heads, lyrics, etc.).
-  
forbidBreak(boolean) If set to
#t, prevent a line break at this point, except if explicitly requested by the user.-  
forceBreak(boolean) Set to
#twhen an event forcing a line break was heard.

NonMusicalPaperColumn and PaperColumn.
