I've been a little puzzled by a LilyPond layout issue. I apologize inadvance for the long example, so I have included the input .ly files, and sample output. The files will require some commenting and uncommenting ofappropriate sections. Many thanks in advances for any insights. *Issue* Two-and-more note neume spacing using \syllable function is affected bysome interaction of the *first* syllable, and the *final* Amen. It seems like LilyPond can squeeze the notes much closer together, as is seen when\syllable is not used at all (but does not result in consistent note spacing).
Sorry, I do not have much time to dig in further.I notice one difference is the system count. Have you tried forcing the system count to three to see if LilyPond opts for tighter spacing?
%%%% \paper { system-count = 3 } %%%%I suspect that spacing may be just at a cusp where it could fit to three systems but LilyPond decides to throw in a fourth system. Thus then the notes are forced to space further apart to fill the extra system.
Just a thought. -- Aaron Hill
