An example of the horrible engraving some publishing houses get away with. This from the largest of all, Hal Leonard. Engraved with the wonderful software, SCORE™, this music is still too widely spaced and not consistent in its progression. Fancy software could not save this publication.

Here is a much better example, from a hand-engraved edition. They fit it on two pages with room to spare for comments!
When choosing your page breaks, always break after a rest, so the performer can turn the page during the rest, as in the example below.
