2010-01-20 Thread James Bailey
You can add \paper { ragged-right = ##f line-width = 4\in } to your file to control the line length and force the measure to fill the whole line. That will ensure that the measures are exactly the length you want them to be, and the diminuendo comes out a bit longer. On 20.01.2010, at 06:36
