But that layout change was probably done by a human. I'm not sure you would want software to dynamically/arbitrarily change the layout. It's not quite as simple as displaying as many notes as will fit and then inserting a page break. With music, sometimes other considerations come into play. IE, intelligent places to break up the measures based on the musical content, phrasing, etc.
