Hi, Mats --
This is a typical situation where you want to use
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'average-spacing-wishes = ##f
Thanks for that tip -- I'm finally "getting it" with regard to
"average-spacing-wishes".
However, that doesn't fix the fact that Lilypond's spacing is
generally too close at the beginning of measures.
For example, here's a snippet which has no key signature, but
exhibits serious spacing problems in every bar, regardless of whether
a time or key signature is present:
\version "2.11.11"
\include "english.ly"
\paper
{
ragged-right = ##t
}
theMusic = \relative
{
\time 4/4
<c e g bf df>1\arpeggio
<c e g bf df>2.\arpeggio <c e g>4\arpeggio
af'8. af16 a4 a2
\time 3/8 aff8. af16 a8
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}

Until about 2.9, I felt like each version of LIlypond required
progressively less tweaking on my part to produce good-looking scores.
Since 2.9, it seems like it's required *more* work on my part. =(
Cheers,
Kieren.
