\section{A latex file with two columns}

In this example, the width autodetection should detect the two-column
settings in the preamble of the document and produce snippets that
have the width of a column.

{%
\parindent 0pt
\noindent
\ifx\preLilyPondExample \undefined
\else
  \expandafter\preLilyPondExample
\fi
\def\lilypondbook{}%
\input{a0/lily-ac503d53-systems.tex}
\ifx\postLilyPondExample \undefined
\else
  \expandafter\postLilyPondExample
\fi
}

Wraping at the end of a column is similar to wraping at the end of a
page.
