Comment #5 on issue 1595 by percival.music.ca: lilypond-book papersize
gives margin warnings
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1595
I still think an *internal* (see later definition) paper size would work.
Steps:
1. latex tells lilypond-book how much horizontal space it can use.
2. lilypond-book does subtractions for quote and related options.
3. lilypond-book tells lilypond how much horizontal space it can use.
4. lilypond creates an image that corresponds to that horizontal space.
The problem is that at the moment step 3 is done in terms of line-width,
but line-width does not include the instrument name (and other non-staff
horizontal width). I think that if lilypond-book told lilypond that the
paper width was something like 150mm (not hard-coded; I'm just
guesstimating what would be left on an a4 paper, after latex margins and
lilypond-book margins like quote), then lilypond would / should be able to
figure out that if it has an instrument name that's 25mm long and needs 5mm
padding, then the staff line width should be 120mm.
