Hey Werner, You can check out the CG link for info about how the lilypond spacing engine works with unpure-pure-containers. As there is no info in the users manual about the nitty gritty of horizontal spacing, James and I decided to leave out the "why" and just focus on the "what to do." After reading the CG stuff, If you feel any info should be brought over to the users manual, post a patch and we can discuss it. And, of course, if after reading the CG stuff is still unclear on how they work, lemme know.
