Br. Jorgensen,
I used your snippet (with slight corrections) and I don't get any
spacing errors (see attached). Here's my code:
%<------------- SNIP --------------
\score {
<<
\new Staff \relative c' {
\time 3/4
\key g \major
e4( f) g | f( d) fis |
}
\addlyrics {
San -- ctus | San -- ctus |
}
>>
}
%<------------- SNIP --------------
Now, if there are other synchronized staves in the same system that
have more movement than this vocal selection, this may be the cause,
but without more information (if there is more), I can't see any error
in your code (i.e., there's no reason the middle notes should get
pushed out since no text is attached to them via the melisma).
Regards,
Abraham
