    It seems that email might not be the best medium of communication for 
    this.  I am taking a page out of Knuth's handbook with something akin to 
    literate programming.  Lacking a suitable TeX environment that works 
    with LilyPond, I chose to do everything in a monolithic LY file.

Aaron, this is a masterpiece!  Not only of coding, but also of explaining the 
spacing algorithms.

Thanks,
