So a minimum width of 972 would be acceptable.I disagree. The fact that lily creates beautiful output, doesn't mean that its users have good graphics hardware. I'd say the opposite: You hardly need to watch the output for other than proofreading purposes. I'm sometimes using lily on 800x600 screens, so I'd be more happy if that would be considered OK.
At this point, I would like to remind of the person who inspired me to write \override. At the time it saved a huge amount of memory since the cost was of a tweak was no longer proportional to the number of grobs. I think his name was Peter Schaffter, and he said "I am a musician, so I am poor as churchmouse". Let us hope that also today lily is used by musicians, who might not have the latest & greatest hardware.
