This code is generated automaticly, nice isn't it?

The editor preset of frescobaldi is NOT to wrap long text. Change it if 
you are annoyed.

The question of lilypond setting barlines or not automaticly is still 
open in my opinion.  Lilypond is a nice program but does not use its 
intelligence perfectly for the good of the user.

Beside: There is spread a rumour on the list that I want lilypond to 
override my settings if wrong or not. But indeed I like to get informed 
by a warning etc.

I would appreciate the code David Kastrup sent me referred to this 
"gruesome code" (thanks) becoming part of lilypond standard to get such 
a message to help dummy users as myself.
