Re: Minimum measure size

[Martin Djernæs]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your answer and I will try to play with these settings.

If you try to take a look at this bar:

  http://djernaes.dk/misc/holes.pdf

You can see that this is pretty compressed and for small kids learning 
to play it's too compressed. Besides there seem to be quite a difference 
in layout between different outputs - yes sure I can add a \break (might 
try that first), but it would be nicer if I just could get the "right" 
output every time.
