I have this as a sample notation example. How would I specify to have exactly 4 measures per line, throughout the whole piece. I searched the whole documentation and did not find such a simple feature. Am I missing something?

\header {
    title = "Ruska narodna pesma."
    composer = "Narodna pesma"
    subtitle = "-za gitaru-"
}
melody = {
    \key c \major
    \time 3/4
    e' f e |
    e, gis b |
    d c b |
    a c e |
}
\score {
    \relative c' <<
        \new Staff \melody
    >>
    \layout {
    }
}

    % **EDIT** use manual breaks where you want them to appear
    a c e | \break
}
\score {
    \relative c' <<
        \new Staff \melody
    >>
    \layout {
    % **EDIT** also here, specify ragged-right property
    ragged-right = ##f
    }
}
