Good Evening. I am using the gregorian.ly because Orthodox liturgical music
is typically unmetered. Additionally, in order to make the hyphens and
spaces look "better" I have "expanded" the lyric hyphen and lyric space
minimum distances. For most of the settings I use, having the same distance
for both (typically 2.25, though sometimes a bit more and sometimes a bit
less) works fine.
However, for this setting, the first line is stretched "too much". I
typically do not like having to fiddle a lot with settings. Like with latex,
I prefer the program to do most of the work. If I change both values to 1.5
or so, the stretching is gone, but then it looks "too compressed". I cannot
seem to get an evenly-spaced document.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
