\item{\joption{keeplayout}:} Do not tweak the layout.
\Cvt\ sets \jfcsmacro{raggedbottom} and redefines the value of the \jfcsmacro{textfloatsep} length.
This just follows the preferences of the original package author and is not necessary
for the package's functionality. Yet for backwards compatibility reasons, we cannot change this.
Thus, we provide the option described here to opt out this presetting.

+ If this option is not set, page breaks can occur between interlinearized text and free translation of a gloss, as
+ well as between gloss preamble and interlinearized text, which is usually not what you will want.

+ page breaking of existing documents). Note that page breaks might still occur in some cases even if the option is set.
