Re: Last line doesn't wrap

[Father Gordon Gilbert]

Hi again,

I did a bit of tweaking for you.  Hope you don't mind, but it produces
a nicer-looking piece of sheet music.  As I said in my last email, I'm
not familiar with the piece, so only you can judge the correctness of
my suggestions, but I did the following:

added a quarter-rest instead of a skip at the beginning
changed {ragged-right=##f}  instead of ##t
made the last note a whole-note to complete the bar.

You might want to put some header lines in with title, etc.

All this makes things scan correctly.  Here is the revised code:

 \version "2.13.29"
 \paper {ragged-right=##f}

 melody = \relative c' {
         \clef treble
         \key d \major
         \time 4/4
         r4 fis4 fis8 e4. d1~ d4 d4 fis4 a4 b2~ (b8 a8 b4) a2. a4
         b4. b8 b4 b4 a4 fis2 e4 d4. d8 cis4 d4 e4 fis4 fis4 e4
         d1~ d4 d4 fis4 a4 b2~ (b8 a8 b4) a2. a4 b4. b8 b4 b4
         a4 fis2 d8 d8 e4 d4 fis8 e4. d2. r4
         \bar "||"
         e4 e4 e4 e4
         fis8 e8~ e2 a,4 b4 d4 d8 e4. d2. r4 e4 e4 e4 e4
         fis4. fis8 fis4. a,8 b8. d16 d4 e4 d4~ d2. r4 fis4 fis4 fis4 fis4
         fis8 e4. e4 e4 g4 g8 g4. g4 g4 fis8 fis4. fis4
         e4 e4 e4 e8 fis8~ fis4 e4 r4 a,8 a8 b4 d4 d8 e4 d8~ d1
 }

 text = \lyricmode {
         My Je -- sus rose on Eas -- ter mor -- ning, He
         came to sing a love song, He came to be my friend. When He re --
         turns in all His glo -- -- ry, He's gon -- na find me

 }

 harmonies = \chordmode {
         a1:7 d2 g2 d1 g1 d1 g1 d1 e1:7 a1:7 d2 g2 d1 g1 d1 g1 d2 b2:m e2:m a2

         a1 a1 g1 d1 a1 a1 g1 d1 b1:m a1 g1 d1 a1 a1 g1 d1
 }

 \score {
         <<
         \new ChordNames {
         \set chordChanges = ##t
         \harmonies
         }
         \new Voice = "one" \melody
         \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
>>

 }

Let me know if this solves your problems (or creates more)

Blessings,
