I was having problems with the horizontal spacing using the ChordNames context.
I tried to put in a post, but it was delayed (presumably due to the size of
the attachment). I cancelled the post because I found my work around, and
think I understand the issue.
I was using a basic chordal rhythm of quarter - quarter - dotted quarter -
eigth, tying the eight to the quarter that starts the next bar. Some of my
chords have fairly long names - E7sus4, Cadd9/add#11. It seems that the
engraver was basing the spacing on what would be needed with all the chord
names printed, even though I had set the ChordChanges to true.
I worked around it by removing the chords in the ChordName context wheere they
are not needed. That is I replaced the chords inthe middle of each bar with
rests. Presto - score looks far more consise and readable.
I'm using v2.6.5 on a windows box. I figured since I had not seen anything in
the archives about this I'd post it for posterity, although I'm not sure how
applicable this is to newer versions.
