Comment #11 on issue 1229 by address@hidden: Notes on ledger lines  
with stems pointed away from the staff overlap clef and staff ends in tight  
layouts

Patch at http://codereview.appspot.com/4187043/ implements the suggestion  
of comment 9, but with a smaller padding value.

In English, the rule would be :  All items that take up space in  
note-spacing shall remain outside a 1-staff-space perimeter  
of "non-musical" things like key signatures and bar lines (i.e., things in  
a NonMusicalPaperColumn).

Images show the results.
The music with ledger lines has very tight spacing forced on it.  It is  
indented to show the limit of how tightly we want Lilypond to pack notes  
before giving up and pushing the line past the right margin.

The Lyrics show a side effect (maybe good) of having such a general rule.   
If Lyrics get close enough to a bar line they "catch" it.  This only  
happens with things that can influence note spacing, not tempo marks and  
such.
