Thanks. That's clear. In fact I wanted NOT to justify the last line: it seemed always to be stretching the last line to fill it - though maybe the stretch effect was either imagined by me or was a result of the spacing problem I was having. Fr Bernard

So, after looking at your files, the problem seems to be that you're trying to use `z` and `Z` at the end of a score. If a `z` or `Z` appears at the end of a score it will have no effect. This is by design because GregorioTeX will not print empty staves. In the example where you've got a second line that appears empty, said line actually has an element on it from GregorioTeX's point of view. Said line appears empty because the element on it is a syllable with no content. `z` and `Z` are for starting new lines, not ending the current line (a subtle, but important difference). The difference between them is that `Z` calls `\hfill` first, thus filling what's left of the current line with white space, while `z` does not, thus causing LuaTeX's justification mechanisms to kick in and stretch the line to fill the space. What this means is that it is not possible to force GregorioTeX to stretch a short line at the end of a score out to fill the horizontal space. At least, it's not possible in the gabc alone. If you look at https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/43 you'll see that I've devised a work around that involves editing the gtex after it has been generated to achieve the desired effect. This tricks LuaTeX into thinking it's not the last line of the score (thus justifying the line), even though GregorioTeX recognizes that it is (and thus doesn't print another stave). Eventually I'd like to work something out that would allow this to be done more easily, but that's a future enhancement and right now we're working on getting 3.0.0 out the door. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Br.
