Fiddle tunes usually have 2 parts, each with 8 measures. In tablature that works out to 2 lines of 3 measures and 1 line of 2 measures followed by a \break. The line with 2 measures will be stretched out to fill the page because ragged-right = ##f. This looks odd.
I would like the 2 measure line to not stretch out and behave like ragged-last=##t, even though it is not the last line.
I looked around and found this -- which you put on line 3 to fake out the layout engine to make line 3 look like it would if ragged-right was true:
\stopStaff
s1 s1 s1
\bar ""
\break
\startStaff
This works (sort of) but I can't believe that it is the right way to this?
So to be clear, I need to have ragged-right to be false for 6 measures and true for the next 2. Then for part B, false again for 6 and true for the last 2. The score should look like this:
Part A
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- |
Part B
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- |
What it looks like with ragged-right = ##f
Part A
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- | -- |
- - | - - | this line is stretched out
Part B
-- | -- | -- |
-- | -- | -- |
- - | - - | this line is stretched out
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
