Re: staff fails to wrap and runs off right hand side of pdf

[Mats Bengtsson]

LilyPond will only consider breaking a line at the bar lines and only
if there isn't any note whose duration extends over the bar line.
Since it's very common to make mistakes in the note durations,
there's good support to find these mistakes, see "Bar check" in the
manual. If you use Windows or Mac, the resulting warnings will
appear in the .log file.
