Here’s some code that David N. whipped up for me which, I believe, does what 
you want. Note that it does NOT automatically set the indent — you need to do 
this manually (by trial and error, essentially).

(David: I’ve cc’ed you here in case you have any improvements to add or things 
to fix, based on recent improvements in the Lilypond codebase.)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
