It would never occur to me that anyone would leave automatic music spacing on, but it seems to me that another option is to turn off avoid lyric collision and space with something other than note spacing. Generally, in my experience, one of those gives enough extra space that the lyrics don't collide any longer. Of course, that's not needed for the ties, since there won't be collisions even with tight note spacing, but I've found that applying one of the looser spacing types takes care of many problematic lyrics situations and produces results that are satisfactory (though not perfect) -- depends on whether or not "good enough" is good enough! -- David W.
