However, when TeX does line justification, it will (if necessary) stretch the space after sentence endings more than the interword space when @nonfrenchspacing is being used. So it distributes justification space, a sometimes necessary ugliness, differently when using @nonfrenchspacing. Since the interword space tears the flow of reading apart worse than the intersentence space, I consider that a sensible idea. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
