Comment #3 on issue 2455 by address@hidden: Lyrics should be
compressed when there's not enough horizontal space

Trevor:
I agree that lyrics should be compressed only when necessary. Maybe it
would be possible to uncompress them if the line breaking eliminated tight
situation, for example.
Werner:
Thanks for the link! It looks very interesting.
As for the ugly looks, what do you think about this example:

? (it looks a bit shabby because i simply scaled a raster graphic, but
should give you the idea)
In my opinion it looks quite acceptable even without making compressed font
bolder, and the result is quite noticeable: 16% reduction in width. 16%
makes a difference, i'd say.
thanks,
Janek
