Comment #4 on issue 1816 by address@hidden: Lilypond-book music runs  
off right side of the page

It's case 3)
Lilypond-book has proper width detection, but for some reason there is code  
to clear the auto-detected width (from latex) or the default with (from  
texinfo) in most cases. I don't see any reason why it should be cleared at  
all. After all, ragged and quote will MODIFY the current line-width, so  
they still depend on a sensitive default value to start with...

Here's a patch that should fix the width of the snippets:

However, we still have a problem with instrument names, because lilypond  
does not include them for the line-width calculation, so the second snippet  
will still be way too wide... I don't see any chance to fix this...
