I have a couple of files where Lilypond fails to wrap the score across
multiple lines, and instead cuts it off at the edge of the page. Most of
these are fairly large files, and it seems to happen consistently if there
are more staves than can fit vertically on the page. What I did: I used
lilypond to render the example at the bottom of this post. What I
expected: The score wraps to the next line after the sixth measure. What
happened: The score does not wrap, instead running off of the edge of the
page.
This is because your score makes no sense, I'm afraid. With a time
signature of C, your second occurrence of "r4.." in the top staff spans
the line between the first and second bars. If I comment out the initial
"r4" and "r16", in the top staff, the score breaks after bar 5 and again
after bar 9. This may not be the music that you mean, but it illustrates
the cause of the problem. The third staff then throws a similar problem in
bar 13, where the "d4." again spans the line between bars 13 and 14.
Once you have a score that properly respects bar lines, the automatic line
breaks will behave themselves.
I trust this helps.
