Hi Aron,
	I followed your advice and have experimented with the following three 
commands. The first one solved my ragged-right problem but gave me an 
uneven horizontal compression affecting only the grace notes. This was 
not so good and I would have prefered to compress the melody notes which 
are unnecesarily spaced.

\score {
    \new Staff  {

    \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t
%    \override SpacingSpanner.uniform-stretching = ##t
%     \override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 
1/16)

If you see a way of achieving this it would being interesting to hear 
from you again.
       I have forwarded a copy of this to Sven Axelsson who is the 
author of the bagpipe incude files to see if there could be a Connection 
there.

If I had to guess, it looks like overfull lines of music where LilyPond
runs beyond the right margin.  Note that LilyPond usually warns you of
this, so double-check your compiler output to confirm.  You will likely
need to reduce the spacing between notes if you are intent on squeezing
in that much music on a single line.  Review the documentation on
horizontal spacing [1].
