Another one of my noobie early questions was about long text markup being
lost over the edge of the page when it was at the end of a line. I was
advised to check the learning manual and duly found section 4.6.5 where it
advises that you can use:
\override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
to avoid this, at the penalty of performance. I now have these 2 lines in
my Lily source the whole time. However, I've just tried compiling a 500
bar, 30 page, 19 voice piece of music and compared the processor time with
and without those lines. 485.6 seconds with them, 484.6 seconds with - a
whole 0.2%. So there's really no performance penalty to speak of. I
propose an enhancement to change the default and update the Learning manual
since this will make Lily compile beautiful music with beautiful markup by
default with no penalty.
