Page break at headers

I discussed this some with Warren off-list, and for him setting "page  
break before row" on the level 1 style as-is allows him to accomplish  
the main goal of minimizing page breaks during scenes. However, where  
multiple successive scenes would fit on the same printed page, he  
(understandably) doesn't want page breaks between those scenes. Right  
now he has to manually manage page breaks in order to accomplish that  
latter goal.

So in effect, what Warren wants is a style option for "page break  
before row IFF the row (and it's children) don't completely fit on  
the current page."

This should be easier for us than what I initially thought he would  
want, which is "page break before row IFF the row (and it's children)  
don't completely fit on the current page AND the row (and it's  
children) will completely fit on a new page."


I can't promise anything specific on any specific schedule (other  
than to say that the currently development schedule makes it unlikely  
for any such changes to show up in the near future), but I would be  
interested in any feedback from the community as to how helpful  
people would find the feature as Warren needs it ("page break before  
row if and only if it and its children don't completely fit on what  
remains of the current page"), or if people need more flexibility (or  
something else entirely).
