Hey David,
it works - but I am running into an issue with short passages.
I would like to stretch the choir part to the right side,
but when I bring in "ragged-right = ##f" then it breaks:
I assume you have a solution for that issue?
This is simple, but perhaps it would work for you. I've stretched (what I thought were) over-compressed lines by just putting in a manual line break before and after the line I want to stretch. Lilypond then spreads the demarcated line out to fill the space.
Just to clarify what I wrote Wed, 24 Apr 2024 23:46:22 -0500
"I don't like to stretch the responses music much at all, …"
The sole control I exercise on the layout of each V&R is
to set the individual indent = NN that's added to
the global ragged-right = ##f ragged-last = ##f.
I choose the values by trial and error, to give the first
(or sole) line of a response a balanced appearance compared
with the full-width lines in the rest of the setting.
Overcompression beyond a certain point will lead to LP's
addition of a linebreak anyway.
In the thumbnail score that I previously attached, the values
of NN were: 70, 40, 110, 20, 0, 80, 50, 70, 80, 40, 60, 0, the
Lord's Prayer having no intonation, and the Amens being labelled,
with no cue or indent required.
Cheers,
David.
