Text at linebreaks

[Phil Holmes]

Another one of my noobie early questions was about long text markup being 
lost over the edge of the page when it was at the end of a line.  I was 
advised to check the learning manual and duly found section 4.6.5 where it 
advises that you can use:

\override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t

to avoid this, at the penalty of performance.  I now have these 2 lines in 
my Lily source the whole time.  However, I've just tried compiling a 500 
bar, 30 page, 19 voice piece of music and compared the processor time with 
and without those lines.  485.6 seconds with them, 484.6 seconds with - a 
whole 0.2%.  So there's really no performance penalty to speak of.  I 
propose an enhancement to change the default and update the Learning manual 
since this will make Lily compile beautiful music with beautiful markup by 
default with no penalty.
