Re: ragged-right lines with lilypond-book in lilypond 2.2?

[Mats Bengtsson]

When you don't specify a \score{...} in your lilypond code,
lilypond-book will assume that the music example is a short
example that will fit into a single line and therefore sets
raggedright. This will also happen as soon as you explicitly
specify \begin[fragment]{lilypond}.
I'm not sure if this is always reasonable, there should at least
be an option noraggedright, or whatever. Anyway, the workaround
for you is to add
\score{\notes{...}}
around your music. Also, I would recommend a \relative c' to
save typing all these quotes.
