Quoting Nick Payne <[email protected]>:
The two situations that I know of that require a space are:
1. Explicit beaming closing square bracket followed by brace: eg {g8[ g g g
g g] }
2. Closing angle bracket following a stroke finger indication: eg
<c-\rightHandFinger #2 >
It sounds as though there are more but I haven't encountered them yet...
It sounds as if you never have written any lyrics. That's the situation
that started this thread if I'm not mistaken. In lyrics mode, you even
need spaces around the dots when doing settings like \override Score .
LyricText #'font-size = #5 (since a dot in lyrics normally is a
punctuation that belongs to the preceding syllable) and you need a
space before every closing bracket (again since a bracket also may be
part of a syllable).
A generalization of your second item is that you need a space after
every expression that's interpreted as a Scheme expression, i.e. that
begins with a # sign.

It's also mentioned in Vocal. The issue is that we should have a
general section that lays out the general rules -- then it'll make
sense when we mention specific cases in the NR.
