I never worked out why...
Johannes, another type-geek...
I might add that it is quite disturbing for a
(continental) European eye. I don't think many
European music publishers would accept this.
It's quite disturbing for a U.S. eye, as far as
that goes, stopping me dead in my tracks to
figure out just what that silly looking word is.
Might be an artifact of using columns too narrow
for the font, especially when the column is
further narrowed by a graphic. Just plain ugly!
What do the German newspapers do, not justify both left and right?
