Comment #7 on issue 1816 by address@hidden: Lilypond-book music  
runs off right side of the page
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1816

I've tested this exhaustively.  I've manually updated the book-snippets.py  
in my build tree, and run it against my test file, prior and post this  
update.  Both outputs are attached.  As you see, without the [quote]  
option, this does inded get rid of the black bars/overfull hbox.  Not quite  
sure why, since these are quite wide compared to the snippets with [quote]  
but that's because I don't understand the working of -book, latex, etc.   
However, there's no effect on the lines compiled with [quote], which  
continue to have bars and overfull hbox warnings.  However, if you make the  
change I'm suggesting (indeed, 2.05 only needs changing to 2.02) you get  
the 3rd result - with no bars at all.  See the 3rd PDF.  I've run the test  
file with multipliers of 1.95, 1.96, 1.97, 1.98, 1.99, 2.00, 2.01, 2.02 and  
2.03.  1.95 to 1.98 give the same result in terms of the point size of the  
overfull hbox - 2.0635 to 4 decimal digits.  1.99 to 2.01 give the same  
result (1.05977), different from 1.96.  2.02 is zero, and hence no black  
bars.  It seems beyond obvious that Reinhold has fixed one bug, and the  
[quote] bug is down to a rounding error.  Please, please, please can we  
stop pointless arguing about angels on the head of a pin, and make a simple  
change that fixes a lot of horrible output in our documentation - make the  
multiplier of indent just bigger than 2.  If this is not agreed, I'll give  
up and move on to other more valued work - other work than Lilypond.
