I suppose my question could have been improved. I should have brought
in the unprofessionalism of white space sooner. But 'leaving half the
page blank' was a good hint what I was thinking. I'll stop before we
spend the thread identifying the specific quantity of confusion I
caused. :)
Your Lully demonstration of two-pass spacing is beautiful. I think
arranging this for my project -- with proper credit given to you,
naturally -- can be done. However, this brings up a subquestion...
...Following the release of the OS X GUI I haven't had to use command
line lilypond as explained http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/
user/lilypond/Notes-for-the-MacOS-X-app.html#Notes-for-the-MacOS-X-
app . I was rather startled to execute /Contents/Resources/bin/
lilypond and /lilypond-book and see Terminal-based 2.6.4 sitting
inside the 2.8.5 GUI. I see no 2.8.5 Terminal version anywhere
within /Contents. Huh?\

Then write more carefully your spec in your question the next time, we
will both gain time.
