Re: [bug] spacing-spanner properties

[Juergen Reuter]

Mmmh, ok, line-breaking is the real issue (although I do not understand 
what prevents lily to insert additional line breaks in the last two 
lines).  Considering this, then maybe some of the spacing problems in 
ancient notation (which sometimes seem to be somewhat related to 
situations similar to that in the example) could be solved by inserting 
\break commands at proper places?  I guess I should investigate further.

Greetings,
