Some of the paper columns are in weird places: following each line
break, at least one column has lost its place within the system and is
stranded in the left margin.  This makes each system wider than it
should be.

If you can put up with manual beams, creating barlines following every
note will restore the correct indentation:

barAlways = ##t
