Comment #38 on issue 1691 by address@hidden: Ugly bars in PDF  
documents

If [quote] is used, and the change I suggested is made, you no longer get  
overfull hboxes.  In book_snippets.py we have this line:

QUOTE: r'''line-width = %(line-width)s - 2.0 * %(exampleindent)s''',

If you change the 2.0 to slightly more than 2.0 (and I suggested 2.05) then  
the output is no longer too wide.  My presumption is that this is to do  
with rounding errors - taking exactly twice the indent from the linewidth  
doesn't narrow the resulting output quite enough.  I understand that this  
doesn't fix every single problem with the docs or how lilypond-book works,  
but it does fix a lot of ugly output in the docs.
