Not happy with results

[Matthias Berndt]

Hi,

I tried writing a few lines with lilypond, but I don't like the way that the 
result looks. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. In the 
attachments, you'll find some source code and the resulting pdf.

The big bracket at the beginning of the second line crosses the bar number, 
which looks odd to me. The crescendo at the beginning of the second line is 
much longer for Alto and 2nd Bass than for Soprano, Tenor and 1st Bass, and 
of course it's not supposed to. 

Are there any workarounds for those issues? I'm using the latest development 
release of lilypond.
