Hi Trevor, The mailserver of my ISP was down for 14 hours, sorry for the late response. Thanks a lot for all your time and effort! The last example you sent works pretty well here now except for the first measure (4/4). It takes about the same amount of space as the following 3/8 measure.

Spanbar problem when avoiding collision between barline and lyrics

Number of pages output

dynamic markings
