This parameter is used with
%%maxshrink to adjust the
place where automatic music line breaks may occur.
To know how many music symbols will be in a music line, the width of each symbol is computed by:
width = minimal_space * 'maxshrink' + natural_space * (1 - 'maxshrink')When the sum of all the symbol widths is greater than
(paper_width - margins) * 'breaklimit'and smaller than
(paper width - margins)a line break may occur.
The value float is limited between 0.5 (line breaks may occur when the line is 50% full) and 1 (the music line is split at the exact computed symbol).
