This has annoyed me for quite some time, so there'll be a fix
in the next release...
There is a problem, however, with things like:
% still ugly
\score{
\notes\relative c''{ g4 ( b d ) c }
\paper{linewidth=-1.0;}
}
this gets a bit uglier with the new fix. It won't be easy to
detect these cases.
We probably should junk all paper variables, and have everything
tunable with properties...
