This is simple, but perhaps it would work for you. I've stretched (what I thought were) over-compressed lines by just putting in a manual line break before and after the line I want to stretch. Lilypond then spreads the demarcated line out to fill the space. ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2024 12:46 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 257, Issue 85 External Email: Use Caution Send lilypond-user mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of lilypond-user digest..."

Very simple, but not obvious from my cropped screenshot, I right-justify the responses. I don't stretch the versicles at all, and I set them with a breve or semibreve (reciting note) and stemless crochets, avoiding any indication of rhythm. (With the commonly used Ferial versicles, only "O God make speed to save us" is entirely crochets, with no reciting note.) I don't like to stretch the responses music much at all, because I find that makes it more difficult to read. So a short V&R pair will have a wide margin to its left. Right-justification is used by Shorter House in their Book of New Responses, and by Church Music Society in their 1993 Watkins Shaw edition of Preces and Responses. OTOH the older Atkins/Fellowes edition of the latter had its V&Rs placed centrally. I've attached a much-reduced illustration of one set (Smith/Stone). On page 2, the choir sings everything after the 2nd versicle; page 4 has the Lord's Prayer; and the final line of music is a concatenation of the three Amens. I've also attached my Plainlayout file, used here for the versicles. I set the size externally because I use much larger sizes than here with less familiar plainsong, like the Gospels of the Passion, and the dreaded liturgical tracts. plainlayout = \layout { \plainlayout #(layout-set-staff-size 9) } Cheers, David. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
