Re: measure length and decresendo

[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.
