I can break your 2.05 "solution" with the following example.

The problem is that line-width is NOT the same thing as the width of the  
image.  Until that is addressed, you're stuck with picking random values  
that are big enough for "reasonable" line widths.  That's do-able for bar  
numbers, but how large do you want to hard-code an instrument name?  Always  
reserve 5cm in case somebody wants to write "Clarinet in B flat" all on one  
line?  that'll look silly if somebody doesn't use any instrument name.   
Always reserve 2cm, and document that nobody is allowed to use longer  
instrument names inside lilypond-book?  Tell people they need to manually  
set an indent=0 or 3 or 10\cm depending on their instrument name?
