When I replied earlier I'd tried this in a normal
score and removing them worked fine, but I see now
why the example in 4.1.2 specifies paper size,
landscape and book.  Without \book the system 
separator is not displayed in the docs!  With
\book it seems the lilypond-book-preamble stuff
is ignored, even when I copy it into \paper.
The main problem is the full A4 page length, complete
with the standard lilypond footer.  Landscape was
used to reduce this a bit.

Any suggestions?  I don't like putting them back in
as they are out of place in NR 1 and are not needed in
a normal score.  Presumably snippets are treated the
same.

I can get round the horizontal positioning problems
by specifying ragged-right and line-width, but \book
is still needed, with the consequent large blank 
vertical extent.
