#### 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.)

Music types accepted:

break-event

Properties (read)

`forbidBreak` (boolean)

Properties (write)

`forbidBreak` (boolean)
  If set to ##t, prevent a line break at this point.
`currentCommandColumn` (layout object)
  Grob that is X-parent to all current breakable (clef, key signature, etc.) items.
`currentMusicalColumn` (layout object)
  Grob that is X-parent to all non-breakable items (note heads, lyrics, etc.).

This engraver creates the following layout objects: NonMusicalPaperColumn and PaperColumn.
