Interesting idea...

I carefully checked the RG project in which the problem existed (on exactly
one of 7 tracks of that project). Unfortunately, I did not find any extra
rests. I checked the event list; nothing apparent (everything seemed sync'd
as expected). I then selected the entire track and normalized rests,
collapsed rests, quantitized (start and end), but all to no avail. Lilypond
still rendered the staff out the right margin.

Then, I tried a variation of the "trick" I discovered earlier: from the
notation editor, I selected all notes (not the clef or key), copied them,
deleted them, then pasted them back in the same location. PDF problem gone,
score rendered correctly.

One of life's little mysteries...

As a regular user of Lilypond, I've seen behavior like you describe
(staff running to the right margin inexplicably) when you have too
many beats in a single bar. Even an extra 16th rest in a bar will
throw off the layout.
