Have you checked that all your measure lengths are correct? If a
measure isn't correct you might not have notes finishing at the end of
measures, and lilypond will have trouble finding places to break
lines. Here's an example in case that isn't clear

\time 4/4 a4 a a % <--- This bar is missing a beat \repeat volta 20
{a2 a}           % <--- None of these notes will begin at the start of 
                 %      a measure, because they're all offset by a
                 %      beat.
