This kind of question should be asked on -user, not on bug-.  I realize
you're new, and I'm not mentioning this to be angry with you, but to teach
you.  I've copied to -user for the archives.

Since you can't reproduce it with a tiny file, we can't accept it as a bug
report, even if it were a bug.   By asking on user, you'll bet the help you
need.

A final line not wrapping virtually always means that a note is carried
across a bar line, so there is no place for lilypond to make a break.

May I suggest that you put barchecks in your code.  You'll probably end up
with a barcheck warning when you compile your file.  That will tell you
where to fix it.

HTH,
