I'm using LilyPond version 2.4.2 (out of portage). As I found in the archives of the LilyPond lists, other people have experienced my problem in older versions of LilyPond: heading text and/or staff lines are overshooting the right margin of the page. One user fixed this problem in version 2.3.15 by making settings in a \bookpaper block (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2004-09/msg00093.html), but \bookpaper seems to have disappeared in version 2.4. I did not find any other way to fix this problem for version 2.4. By setting the linewidth, I can get the staves to fit in the page, but the composer line still runs past the margin. Any ideas? Here are the files I'm working on. All of the included files follow the same format as trumpet.ly (pasted below main.ly). Thanks!
