Re: Minimum measure size

[Mats Bengtsson]

The default spacing in LilyPond has been carefully designed by the
implementors to provide a nice layout. If you want a more spacious
layout, maybe you should increase the staff size one or two steps.
If a particular line of music gets too compressed, it may help to
add a manual line break, \break.
If you really want to change the default spacings, take a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Horizontal-spacing.html#Horizontal-spacing
but I'd rather recommend not to fiddle too much with these properties.
