Re: Odd layout choices

[Guy Stalnaker]

No longer baffling :-) Using the min-systems-per-page option forced LP to
put the systems on the same page and it is clear, when it does so, why its
default fitting algorithm does not! It appears to be the non-musical
elements that are interfering with things. I still had to play with
margins, etc. to get it to look "right." Thanks for your help. Is there an
easy way to tell Lilypond not to stack vertically simultaneous directives
like "a tempo" and dynamics, but to render them horizontally?

Thanks again!
