I'm trying to write a piece with an alternative ending labeled "Final."

This bracket is over a whole note for all parts.  For two of the five
parts, the spacing on the last line of the part is tight enough that
there isn't room under the volta bracket for the whole word "Final."

Does anyone have a good suggestion for what to tweak to fix this?

Thanks,

You could use

\override Staff.NoteHead #'X-extent = #'(L . R)

for the whole notes where you want the additional spacing around the note, but this doesn't work if the note is on a ledger line, as it also extends the ledger line. Alternatively

\override Staff.BarLine #'extra-spacing-width = #'(L . R)

can achieve the same effect.

\version "2.13.54"

\relative c'' {
    c1 c
    \once \override Staff.NoteHead #'X-extent = #'(-8 . 8) c
    c
    \override Staff.BarLine #'extra-spacing-width = #'(-8 . 8)
    c c
}
