That's a good idea to adjust `\bookTitleMarkup` in my input file. Thank

But I still think that there's a problem with \fill-line. I don't think
it should cause the word "Composer" to protrude past the end of the
staff when there is plenty of room for it to fit properly right-aligned
to the end of the staff.
