Comment #2 on issue 1816 by percival.music.ca: Lilypond-book music runs off  
right side of the page

The first @lilypond has no bar numbers nor instrument names.  [quote] is  
also a red herring.

lilypond-book produces images which overflow the allowable space by latex.   
That should not happen.  What's the size of the mbox (or hbox) allocated to  
the eps image that lilypond-book is going to create?  What's the size of  
the bbox of the eps image that lilypond produces?  These are not the same  
thing, and they *should* be (or at least, the size of the bbox eps should  
be less than the mbox in latex).

Either:
1) we have hard-coded constants for this width, and those constants are  
wrong,
or
2) we don't get correct information from latex about the width,
or
3) we get correct info from latex, but don't use that information correctly

These problems exist whether or not we use [quote].  They are exacerbated  
by having an instrument name, but since it's even broken without an  
instrument name, that's also a red herring.


ETA: 1 hour if you know latex+eps, python, and maybe scheme as well.  10  
hours if you don't.
