IMNSHO, ideally LilyPond should be able to do this on its own, based
on the "density" of the staves it draws on each page. So, on the user
side this would only require to have a min-line-width and a
max-line-width property, just like we now have min-systems and
max-systems.

I'll let this discussion live for a while, then I'll add something.
