First thing I think of would be a completely different route – don’t 
know if it fits into your entire framework:


\version "2.19.37"
\paper {
  left-margin = 5\mm
  right-margin = 5\mm
  ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
  \context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
  Rest4 e -- ter -- nal grant un -- to them, O Lord,
  and let light per -- pe -- tu -- al
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
  \cadenzaOn
  a1*17/4
  \bar "|"
  a8[( c]) \break
  \bar "|"
  a4
}
\score {
  <<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \theLyrics
  >>
}

HTH,

Re: Wide spacing after extremely long syllable

This looks like a bug to me. I can't find any workaround for v2.19.
With v2.18, not nice but works:

\version "2.18.2"
\paper {
  left-margin = 5\mm
  right-margin = 5\mm
  ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
  \context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \once \override LyricText.X-extent = #'(0 . 72)
  Rest_eternal_grant_unto_them,_O_Lord,_and_let_light_perpetual
  shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
  \time 1/1
a1
  \once\override Staff.BarLine.extra-offset = #'(5 . 0)
  \time 2/8
a8[( c]) \break
  \time 1/4
a4
}
\score {
  <<
\new Staff
  \new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \theLyrics

}

Wide spacing after extremely long syllable

2016-03-08 Thread markdblackwell 
After an extremely long syllable in the lyrics, the next measure's spacing is
quite wide, even with ragged-right.

In the tiny example below, the problematic measure (of two eighth notes)
comprises the word, "shine".

Before each of its eighth notes, I tried the following commands, but they
didn't shrink the problematic measure:

\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.average-spacing-wishes = ##t
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.shortest-duration-space = #0.1
\once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #1.2

Although the following command shrinks the problematic measure, it also
places the second eighth note completely after the word, "shine"—which looks
bad:

   \once \override Score.SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##t

How can I shrink the problematic measure (after the extremely long syllable)
to a more-normal spacing, while still aligning the word, "shine" under both
eighth notes (as normal)?

I prefer to keep the extremely long syllable and the problematic measure
together on the same system (line).

Here's the tiny example:

\version "2.19.37"
\paper {
  left-margin = 5\mm
  right-margin = 5\mm
  ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
  \context { \Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode {
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
Rest_eternal_grant_unto_them,_O_Lord,_and_let_light_perpetual
shine on
}
notes = \relative c'' {
  \time 1/1
a1
  \time 2/8
a8[( c]) \break
  \time 1/4
a4
}
\score {
  <<
\new Staff
  \new Voice = "one" \notes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \theLyrics
  >>
}
