Re: horizontal control

[address@hidden]

Actually, making a couple other measures wider would likely also do the trick.  
In trying to create a small file which demonstrates the problem I am mystified 
as when I excerpt the section I want to change the excerpt doesn't display the 
problem.  I'll have to try to see why.  Another thing I want to do is to 
shorten the stems on some beamed notes.  I can shorten them on separately 
flagged ones, but I have not found how to shorten beamed stems.  Hints?

Hi David,

In general it is very difficult to make lilypond alter the width of a
single bar (to quote the manual: `There is no convenient mechanism to
manually override spacing'). There are some ad hoc solutions for specific
cases (that mostly make a bar /wider/) but your question doesn't give
enough information to suggest a solution. Could you perhaps create a tiny
example that illustrates your problem and hopefully we will be able to
suggest a solution.
