Hello,

I want to align Lilypond notes to tabbed columns of text in OpenOffice, but
I am confused after reading and rereading the spacing and tweaking
references as to what is the best way to do this.  Would you please point me
to the correct reference or give an example?  I appreciate the help.

What I Tried
I have used the paper header line-width to stretch or shrink everything
horizontally, but this causes one or another problem: when the notes align
to the external document, the staff extends too far past the last note,
making the overall appearance unbalanced.  When the staff aligns, the notes
are scrunched too close together.  Below, I have made a representation of
the problem.

(must view with a fixed-width font)

Example of Problem - Notes OK But Staff Too Long
OOo text:           |   |   |
Top staff line:    ------------------
LilyPond notes:     |   |   |
Bottom staff line: ------------------

or

Example of Problem - Staff OK But Notes Too Close
OOo text:           |   |   |
Top staff line:    -----------
LilyPond notes:     | | |
Bottom staff line: -----------

So I wish to specify the staff length, note spacing, and then shift or
justify to the notes more to the center of the line, so there's little empty
staff space after the last note.

Example of Desired Layout

OOo text:           |   |   |
Top staff line:    -----------
LilyPond notes:     |   |   |
Bottom staff line: -----------
