<h4 class="subsection">4.6.4 Avoiding tweaks with slower processing</h4>
<p>LilyPond can perform extra checks while it processes input files. These
checks will take extra time to perform, but fewer manual tweaks
may be required to obtain an acceptable result. If a text script
or part of the lyrics extends over the margins these checks will
compress that line of the score just enough to fit within the
margins.
<p>To be effective under all circumstances these checks must be enabled
by placing the overrides in a Score <code>\with</code> block, rather than
in-line in music, as follows:
<pre class="example">\new Score \with {
% Makes sure text scripts and lyrics are within the paper margins
\override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
} {
..
}
