Now with the example, I understand what you mean :)

I don't think the example shows exactly what I mean. I think I can describe it a little better, though:


A line of music ends on a note that is tied to a note in the next measure. The next measure is on the next line. The note coincides with a syllable that has an extender (e.g., "good __"). This means that the extender also extends to the next line of music. So the extender will jut out a little bit beyond the end of the bar of music on the first line.

Now, just to confuse things: I don't think this is bad, and may even be the right thing. It's not aesthetically unpleasing at all. Why am I trying to find a way to change it, then? Because I typeset music for other people, and I'm trying to forestall a lot of complaining about little issues such as this.

Thanks for your patience here; I really appreciate it.

Doug
