Comment #14 on issue 1015 by percival.music.ca: doc line width
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1015

We already have a default line width.  (Frog: ETA 30 minutes to find it.   
Senior developer: 30 seconds to find it.)   as you note, in conjunction  
with other demands on the final image size, it goes into the paper margins  
in latex.  This produces the warning "ugly black bars" in the pdf.

Totally aside helpful hint I discovered by accident: if you type "issue  
1691" then the issue tracking software automatically turns it into a link.

I agree that this issue blocks any serious work on issue 1691.  But in  
turn, this issue cannot be fully resolved until issue 766 (or something  
like it) is resolved -- as far as I know, there is currently no way of  
forcing a snippet to be less than a certain length (we can limit the staff  
to be a certain length, but the instrument name is added after that, so a  
really really really really really long instrument name will screw stuff  
up).
