How to set line-width to width of paper
I have just started using \override #'(line-width . n) for text markup, and I want the value n to be chosen so as to work out as the distance between the margins of the paper I'm printing on. As it is it is in staff spacing units which is inconvenient (I am writing the critical commentary at the end of the work). Could someone point me in the right direction here?

Yes, it does seem so, I was thinking it had gotten upset by previous
stuff, embedded postscript and such, but now I see it was just my
handling (or mangling) of the \markup {} syntax that was causing text to
flow over the left margin.
Thanks for the response,
Richard
