#### Score_engraver

Top level engraver. Takes care of generating columns and the complete system (ie. System)

This engraver decides whether a column is breakable. The default is that a column is always breakable. However, when every Bar_engraver that does not have a barline at a certain point will call Score_engraver::forbid_breaks to stop linebreaks. In practice, this means that you can make a breakpoint by creating a barline (assuming that there are no beams or notes that prevent a breakpoint.)
