Do you have this line?

It sounds like you might have ragged-last = ##t set somewhere.

That sounds like a difficult way to set about things. \break is your
friend, once we've solved the problem above.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here. For keeping changes
under control, a revision control system such as git is invaluable.
For searching the documentation, the index in the back of the Notation
Reference (NR) is invaluable. And the Snippets Repository
at https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/ and the mailing list archive
at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/ can be very
helpful.
