since I have been turning to Music & Poetry and Scansion and Translation entries in the Princeton Encyclopedia for teaching, I wonder, too -- there is very little agreement on scoring poetry, mostly because scoring post-dates poetry. But, it seems it was originally *for* poetry, and then got picked up for music...

this, for me, has little to do with the line break, tho; I'm trying to clear out a little corner where many of my poems are *not* free verse, nor are they *new form*, but some sort of *free poetry* with no *verse* involved, or, perhaps, some sort of relation to music which is not as lyric/verse...
