I know; like I said, 50 chars is *really* quite long :-) However, if
we lower this threshold to 40 then we'll start getting such things as
@file{ly/predefined-guitar-ninth-fretboards.ly} (I'm assuming we don't
want that). There's also a matter of consistency: if we split the
MacOSX command line, then it also makes sense to split the GNU/Linux
one.

(another example: if we were to split the
predefined-guitar-ninth-fretboards, which we're not -- parenthetical
clause, wink wink :) -- then we probably should split
predefined-ukulele-fretboards as well, and so on.)

I'm probably much of a control freak, but this @file{} syntax has been
bugging me for quite some time, so I'm relieved that we're getting
more consistency here :)

Cheers,
Valentin.
