Paper_column_engraver

Takes 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 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.)
