Hmm, if you look e.g. at timpani parts for several large works, you will 
frequently encounter one-line movements, because the Timpani only play the 
last three measures or so of a movement...

That's actually how I got bitten by this: I had one such part (it was a 
flute...) and when lilypond suddenly produced an only half-filled line, I 
spent quite some time playing with all different kinds of horizontal 
stretching/padding/whatever settings, but didn't think of ragged-right...

Anyway, I now found the culprit and added ragged-right=##t to 
orchestrallily.ly, so I'll never run into this problem again.

Cheers,
Reinhold
