John The usual cause of this behaviour is because LilyPond cannot find a suitable place to break the line. Line breaks can occur only at 'complete' bars, ie where the last note(s) in the bar in all staves end(s) at the automatically inserted barline. If any note carries over no break can take place. A single wrongly inserted duration can progagate this condition though many bars. A bar check will generate a warning at each check where a carry-over of duration occurs. If carry-overs are intended, a manually inserted bar can indicate to LP that a break may occur. Other things that can prevent a line break are a sequence of manually inserted beams or tuplets which straddle barlines.
