After an extremely long syllable in the lyrics, the next measure's spacing is
quite wide, even with ragged-right.
In the tiny example below, the problematic measure (of two eighth notes)
comprises the word, "shine".
First thing I think of would be a completely different route – don’t
know if it fits into your entire framework:
\version "2.19.37"
\paper {
left-margin = 5\mm
right-margin = 5\mm
ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
Rest4 e -- ter -- nal grant un -- to them, O Lord,
and let light per -- pe -- tu -- al
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
\cadenzaOn
a1*17/4
\bar "|"
a8[( c]) \break
\bar "|"
a4
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \theLyrics
>>
}
HTH,
Simon
