Since the text is not typeset with a fixed width font, the number of
characters that fit in will depend on the actual wording.
Anyway, you could try to increase the indentation of the first
score line to fit in a longer word:
\score{
...
\paper{
  indent = 3.0\cm
  ...
}
}

An alternative is to break it up into several lines. See for example

I think I've had that problem even with one-word names like
"harpsichord".
