Problems with gregorian neumes ligatures

Subject: Problems with gregorian neumes ligatures

Hello,

I am a beginner at Lilypond (this is my second transcription) and I am encountering some (3 majors) difficulties with gregorian chant notation (neumes ligatures). Let's try to be clear:

1- PORRECTUS: The last note of every porrectus that end with an ascending second (for exemple: g f g) is too close from the "line" of the porrectus, making the last note head unclear. Maybe I could make the staves bigger without changing the size of the neumes? Would that be a solution? (and how do I do that?)

2- DOTS: Dots inside a ligature are too close to the next note heads. I tried to add skips after the dotted notes, but it had no effect.

3- ICTUS: At two places (over the words "(manum) tuam" and "(scientia tua) alleluia", the ictus does not appear under the note it is assigned to.

Besides that, I am quite happy with the results. I hope someone can help me to make it perfect! Thank you and happy new year to everyone!

Here is the input:




\version "2.6.3"

\include "gregorian-init.ly"

 \header {
   dedication = "DOMINICA RESURRECTIONIS"
   title = "AD MISSAM IN DIE"
   subtitle = "Antiphona ad introitum IV"
   opus = \markup { \italic "Ps. 138, 18. 5. 6 et 1-2" }
      }

\score {
 <<
\context VaticanaVoice = "cantus" {
\override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
\override Script #'padding = #-0.1
\relative c{
