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.
